A project that increases the square footage and creates a newly finished living space.
Judging Criteria:
Overall Quality and Appearance: (Does the project "look" finished; nothing stands out as incomplete, unfinished, or inappropriate?).
Degree of Skill/Attention to Detail: (Any elements requiring a particular skill? How well are the transitions between the various items used? How do the project's colors, textures, and materials interrelate?)
Innovation and Creativity: (Were unique design elements, resourceful materials, or innovative techniques used? Were standard products used creatively?)
Function and Style: (Does it allow for good traffic flow and function? Was space used efficiently to accommodate the overall design and intent of the owner?)
How does the perceived value of the project compare to the cost?
Does the project complement the original structure's design OR meet the architectural intent/goal of the homeowner?
