Michael and Gabriella wanted a space to work from home before their daughter was born. Michael created a plan that would serve two goals: create voluminous light-filled spaces to use as a home office and art studio, while making sure the same spaces could transition into living space in the future. The original 726 sf home had two bedrooms and one bathroom. A welcome 574 sf addition increased the home to 1300 sf with three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a great room. The addition fully integrated the existing carport materials into the final design (which includes a bonus "man cave" in the backyard!) with no wasted materials. Designing the office as a future bedroom and the art studio as a future great room added value and equity to the property. Function, site orientation and topography, and architectural features of the existing house informed the design process.
