Before and After the Addition.

Our clients, located in the Pattengill area of Ann Arbor, wanted an indoor/outdoor place where they can enjoy the outdoor air, hang a hammock and chill. To help them elevate their love of home, the Rochman Design Build team will be adding a 3 season porch to the back of their house, right off the kitchen. And while the parents are enjoying their time in the hammock, the kids will be enjoying their new tree house that the Rochman Design Build team will also be building. Please visit this current work ‘blog’ to see the transformation… and daresay glee of the kids…

Floor framing is down. A bird’s eye view of the work from a playhouse perch.

Post framing of the walls, temporary bracing keeps everything in place until the structure is tied together.

Exposed ceiling framing to be whitewashed.

Cedar framework going up.

Access door to crawlspace.

Newly installed skylights in the exposed ceiling.

This is how the two roofs tie together.

The exterior is painted white while the interior awning is whitewashed.

We think the ‘surprised look emoji’ post hardware is quite cute.
The deck gets a new set of stairs to grade level and porcelain tile floor is laid inside the porch.

The net hammock is suspended in the play house and John is contemplating whether or not it should be tested. Yes… yes it should!!! Because you KNOW that the kids are not just going to jump on the net when they could also hang upside down from it :-)

Remember the photo from underneath a walkway?

Final electrical connections are made to the clubhouse.

The screen porch’s finished interior is bright and cheery, with light stained wood and ceramic tile floors.

Electrical fixtures and ceiling fan add a touch of black. Artwork is planned for the wall above the windows.

The play structure is done.

And our designers come out to play... yes, even Gary :-)
