New Additions

If you love your home but need more space, a custom addition is the perfect solution. Whether you’re building up or out, Birch & Ivy Design & Renewal creates seamless home expansions that blend naturally with your existing structure—both in style and structure.

Expertly Crafted Home Additions Designed to Grow with You

Your home is where your life unfolds, and as your lifestyle, family, or needs change, your space should adapt too. At Birch & Ivy Design & Renewal, we specialize in designing and building custom home additions that not only expand your square footage—but also elevate your entire living experience.

Whether you’re dreaming of an extra bedroom for a growing family, a spacious new living room, a sun-filled home office, or a complete in-law suite, our team will turn your ideas into reality. We manage every phase of the project—from design and permitting to construction and final walkthrough—with the same meticulous care we bring to all of our remodeling work. The result? A space that fits naturally into your home, down to the smallest detail.

Unlike renovations that work within your existing layout, additions require technical precision to ensure structural integrity, architectural cohesion, and compliance with zoning codes. With over a decade of experience and a deep understanding of Rhode Island’s building requirements, we handle it all—so you don’t have to. Our goal is simple: to make the expansion process smooth, transparent, and exciting for every client we serve.
