Centered around a simplified front entry sequence, family room, master bedroom, and a new mudroom, the project sought to increase the amount of natural light within much of the house, while updating the exterior both functionally and aesthetically. An added front porch, relocated front door, and new dormer create a bright and welcoming entrance into the house, while spilling light into the now airy family room. New exterior insulation, upgraded windows, and new siding improve the performance and look of the house.
