Architectural Plans

Mr. and Mrs. Barajas property was not being utilized at its fullest potential. Battres Construction team made the homeowner’s vision possible! The property had pocket areas that were not used or functional— mainly in the front of the home. Battres Construction architect, Alfonso Buitrago-Jimenez, visited the clients to see the actual space and diagnose the problem. The frustrated clients revealed the small kitchen and living room. Immediately, the architect suggested removing walls to have an open concept kitchen and living room. Removing the wall by the kitchen not only added 100 square feet but also allowed to have more storage cabinets! As for the bathroom, the layout remained the same. Battres Construction has a good relationship with the clients, and they entrusted our professional suggestions and decisions.

Below are the architectural plans that were completed on their property. The first plan is BEFORE and the second plan is AFTER.

Design Plans

The next step is meeting with the Battres Construction designer, Cesar Villa, who demonstrated a variety of projects that Battres Construction had successfully completed. He also provided 2D and 3D plans. Guiding our customers through our preferred vendors to select the right colors, textures, and materials for their kitchen and bathroom in one day was a success! Choosing the design materials with Mr. and Mrs. Barajas was comfortable and smooth. They entrusted us throughout the custom home design process as we handle this project with the utmost care. The design for the kitchen was ultimately an excellent choice—the backsplash was mosaic, expresso cabinets, pure white quartz for the island, and Santa Cecilia for the rest of the kitchen. (Just in case you were wondering?!) These kinds of things just make us excited!! Just saying.

Below are the 3D design plans that are offered to you.

Results

Last but not least, the load-bearing walls were not easy to remove! Battres Construction project manager, Rudy Battres, diligently worked with the city to have approved permits. (Unapproved permits can prolong the construction schedule.) The original layout of the home was modified through detailed engineering and architecture to reconfigure the desired layout. Through each phase, Battres Construction wants to ensure the client’s needs are being met. So, in the process of construction, Mr. and Mrs. Barajas made some changes that would reflect their vision. The updated spaces were ultimately achieved through communicating and collaborating closely.
