Projected new Floor Plans

These are the new floor plans that we are working with. They need a few more modifications so if you have any suggestions, please post them.

Planned Renovation during Summer 2010 - Basement and Addition

Our plans are to construct a new basement where we will have three bedrooms and a bathroom. Presently, there is running water in the house, but no septic or sewer connection. The per-square-meter price of building into the basement may be more than building an addition, but the basement needs work anyways, due to settling damage, and the historic area has understandable restrictions that make it difficult to build a larger addition.

A smaller addition, however, in the proper style is not problematic. We have modeled the addition on a ca. 1920 "vinterhage" (sun room) on a neighboring house. It would expand the living room to a more modern size, as well as provide a sitting space in the kitchen.

Existing Floor Plans

This is the floor plan as it exists today. Originally, the upstairs was likely not finished and, when purchased in 2007, the kitchen was divided into two rooms.

This is Villa Nordhøi

Villa Nordhøi is a Swiss-style villa built in 1891 in the historic section of Eidsvoll, Norway. It was built by the local shoe maker and remained in the same family until we purchased it in January 2007.
