[quote=Anonymous]Growing up a house "upwards" is the most expensive option to add square footage to your house. In a DC townhouse, you are looking at costs of $250-300k. This design option will affect the second floor A LOT because you will need to make room for a new set of stairs. As a matter of cost, adding to the rear is about 3/4 the cost per square foot to the first option. A 2 story rear addition may cost $200-250k. the third option is to gain spaces in the basement. Finishing it and adding natural light through window wells may cost $100-150k depending on the structural alterations you need to make. I do A LOT of these types of additions and the initial assessment of cost and feasibility is the MOST important discussion you want to have before starting the design. Feel free to reach out if you need clarification about how to add space to your house. All the best, ileana schinder architect www.ileanaschinder.com[/quote]
