Located in Alexandria, VA, the existing house was a one-story brick front with living spaces on the first floor and a second story (attic) with two small bedrooms and very limited headroom. The project design removes the existing roof/attic space and adds a new second floor with two bedrooms and Jack-and-Jill bathroom, and third bedroom with en-suite bathroom, and a master suite with vaulted bedroom ceiling. The first floor addition expands the family room to the rear, adds a large kitchen, and a screened cabin attached to the house with a stone patio.
