Home Addition in Chicago, IL - Custom Two-Story Transformation
The Design Goal: Modernity and Spatial Expansion
The primary objective for this Chicago residence was to transform a traditional brick structure into a modern, light-filled masterpiece with a significant increase in square footage.
The homeowners wanted a bold, contemporary aesthetic that would stand out in the neighborhood while creating a seamless, open-concept interior.
By focusing on a high-contrast exterior palette and a structural vertical expansion, we aimed to create a home that felt both expansive and architecturally sophisticated.
The Solution: A Striking Two-Story Transformation
Maya Construction Group, led by owners Udi Yeger and Ofer Gliksman, designed a comprehensive two-story addition that completely redefined the property’s footprint.
We integrated a full second level to accommodate additional bedrooms and expanded the ground floor to facilitate a better flow for the family.
The exterior was reimagined with dark architectural siding and warm wood accents, creating a contemporary facade that perfectly complements the newly brightened interior spaces.
