This is a model of a charming Cape Cod style house that needed more space for a family that likes to entertain. The homeowners asked for design ideas to add space that keep and enhance the charm of the house. The owner said she had seen too many additions that were not integrated into the design of the original house and ended up looking like "warts" growing off of the side of the house!
The back of the house was the biggest concern. The rear of the property was beautiful and woodsy, but it wasn't designed for the family to entertain and enjoy the back yard. The big concrete slab was boring and univiting! The family wanted an addition that would provide additional family room space but would still look like part of the house. They also requested suggestions for additions to the master bedroom and updates to the kitchen.
This design model shows additions developed with the home owners, including changes to the roofs to open up the house to the views of the forest and add more light and space to the house. The new addition helps to create a more private outdoor "room" with the existing concrete slab.
The model was used to explore how exterior building materials can be used to tie the new additions and existing house.
