This reimagined the entry into a gracious gesture was motivated by acute space constraints that rendered moving furniture to the second floor impossible. The resulting open space allows natural light to sprawl throughout the entry space and to the private second-floor family area. The addition also provided an opportunity to move the powder room to a more discreet location adjacent to the dining room. Despite its modest size of just over 200 square feet, the addition transformed the entry of the home and its first impression, communicating openness and warmth within first aquatinting steps.
