Layout Improvements for Small Homes in Farmington Hills, MI

Small 1930–1960 homes often feel cramped, chopped-up, or outdated due to their original compartmentalized floor plans. We help you redraw your layout to improve flow, functionality, and comfort — without destroying the charm or structure of the home.

Why It Matters for Small Historic Homes

These homes require far more precision than modern houses. Removing the wrong wall, moving a stair incorrectly, or widening an opening without proportion rules can permanently alter the home.

Common Mistakes

• Over-opening load-bearing walls

• Creating awkward room shapes

• Violating classical proportion rules

• Ignoring existing plumbing stacks

• Designing layouts without structural context
