The 2,000sf kitchen, mudroom, garage, and office addition is notable for the new connections of the house to the garden. A new raised terrace connects the outside directly to the new kitchen entry area. Grass and granite stairs link the terrace with the lawn. The office space over the garage is designed as a future master bedroom of guest suite, complete with steam shower and generous closets.

The detailing of the addition is contemporary, yet it draws on the classical themes to the original house, both complementing and contrasting with the original house.
