It would be difficult to add to the completed home; however, if a 3rd floor were designed into this particular home plan (The Winterbrooke) from the beginning of the design process, it may be possible. We would have to get stairs of some kind up to that area though, which would take up some of the 2nd floor space. Also, it wouldn’t come out the whole way to the front of that gable area, it would be more centered (front-to-back) over the home.
