A local architect early in her career designed the original 950 square foot house. We liked the design of the original house and believed it was an asset not only to the owners but also to the community. Maintaining its integrity was important. In addition to attaching 2800 sf, which included a large living and office area, two bedrooms and three baths, we sought to take a positive position in the new Westlake paradigm by embracing the original design and minimizing the visual impact from the street.
