Daedalus Structural Engineering
Atherton Classic Renovation

This addition and remodel to an existing American neoclassical styled residence required much more than meets the eye.

The scope involved extending the existing rectangular structure on either side at both the first and second levels and projecting wings to the rear of the residence off each extension at the first level. Completing this required extensive rearranging of the existing interior spaces and support structure to allow the final room layout to flow seamlessly from the existing areas to the added wings.

During construction it was found that the existing foundations were considerably compromised, and before any work could be performed they needed to be replaced. To accomplish this, the entire residence was lifted from the existing foundation to allow for new foundation elements to be constructed. The owners then decided to take advantage of these circumstances by increasing the size of the existing partial basement. Now the home is founded largely on new foundations tied into the existing basement walls where possible.
