About to embark on home renovation and expansion to accommodate aging-in-place in the coming years. Currently, the house is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 1930s 1.5 story bungalow with full basement. It has two closets in addition to the linen closet. Need to expand to 3 generous-sized bedrooms, the first of which is a master with on-suite bath (w/tub) and walk-in closet, the second has a walk-in closet, and the third has a full wall closet. Also need to enlarge the kitchen which will also include a walk-in pantry.

Plan to interview architects and design/build firms in the coming weeks; but in advance of that, would greatly appreciate some input based on these foreseen requirements:

• Add across the entire back of the house to gain additional space for the bedrooms (14x16, 13x15, and 12x14), bathroom for second and third bedrooms, and kitchen.
• Restore the fireplace in the living room. The layout indicates a fireplace, but it was bricked and plastered over by previous owner. Based on the size of the room and current furnishings, cannot accommodate a fireplace unless the living room is enlarged. Expanding into BR1 partly or completely is an option, creating a long narrow living room.
• Add a coat closet in or near the living room.
• Double the length of the kitchen as a galley-type for additional counter and storage, plus the pantry.
• Add a powder room.

On its face and with the additional square footage, would the scope of this project be considered small, medium or large?
