What should feasibility answer?
Feasibility should test placement, circulation, structure, utilities, site access, drainage, approvals, and whether reconfiguration could solve the goal with less construction.
- Start with the use, not a predetermined shape
- Review property information early
- Identify required design and engineering roles
How should new space connect to the home?
A successful addition integrates floor levels, circulation, roof form, exterior materials, daylight, utilities, and the function of adjacent rooms.
- Avoid leftover corridors
- Plan transitions at old and new work
- Coordinate exterior water management
Which local facts require verification?
Jurisdiction, setbacks, lot coverage, easements, utilities, drainage, neighborhood rules, and permit requirements are property-specific and can change.
- Use official sources for the address
- Do not rely on a neighboring project
- Confirm requirements before finalizing design
