New Hope, PA
Recently completed project in Solebury Township, Buck County. Our clients had an old farm house located right on the Delaware River. Over the years, floods had damaged the house and with the rising costs of flood insurance, the owners made the decisions to raise the entire house. The lift was tricky because of the original 1800's farmhouse foundations and several additions that were all at different levels.
By raising the house, we were able to generate even more spectacular views of the river. The lift also created some privacy between the house and the popular tow path of the canal. Furthermore, by lifting the house one whole level, we were able to create even more interior square footage, which we turned into entertaining spaces. Multilevel decks, modern flare on an old style building and clean new materials are only some of the features that made this one of our favorite projects to work on.
Enjoy looking at all the completed photographs, as well as the ones during the lift. Enjoy.
