BEFORE

Ÿ Privacy in porch area

Ÿ Design of the roof for addition so as to accommodate existing second floor windows

DESIGN SOLUTIONS

AFTER

Eliminate entire rear wall to gain larger kitchen and family room. Blind beam creates seamless extension.

Incorporate peninsula cabinetry with columns to define space, kitchen and family room. One column is structural, to support blind beam for entire rear wall of original house. To balance, added a false column on the other side of the peninsula.

Custom-made elliptical casing to match. Eliminating hall closet and creating doorway to new space, kitchen/family room, for better flow.

Create cozy seating area with exterior fireplace positioned on side of porch to create privacy.

To maximize family room depth and to clear second floor window, roof pitch in family room is designed to be lower. Tray ceiling detail employed to hide the low pitch rafter and define the space in open plan of kitchen and family room.

Mudroom and the side stairs designed to maximize the space without encroaching on the existing driveway. This achieved by adding exterior steps at the mudroom door.

Removed existing stone veneer on the interior fireplace in the living and installed panelized fireplace architrave with slate surround and hearth. New built-in bookcase and the fireplace made the room bright and clean lined, a touch of contemporary flare that is in keeping with the home's traditional style

EXECUTED PRECISELY

This renovation exemplifies the perfect blend of aesthetic design and engineering prowess. With a clear vision from the outset, our focus was on accommodating the client's desire for a furniture layout that promotes family and guest interactions. It became clear that extending the space by an additional 12 feet was essential to fulfill the requirements of an open floor plan. Consequently, the design was meticulously crafted around the structural necessity of a steel beam, ensuring both functionality and elegance
