A family room that is 14’ wide and 15’ deep was designed for the rear of the home. An existing concrete patio and portion of an existing small sunroom was removed to make way for the new addition. Once that was completed the excavation and masonry began for a full basement. This area would serve as a shop for the owner as well as provide access to all the electrical components required for the sound system in the new room. The exterior finishes of both the lower and upper were vital in pulling the project together to create a seamless addition on the outside. On the second floor, Hardipanel siding was used with cedar boards to trim around the door and windows. Once again, it matches the style of a dormer that is on the front of the home. On the first level, the existing brick consists of multiple variations of color including red, cream, yellow and black. Some of the brick that was removed from the existing home was reused and reclaimed brick from other homes of that era was used to fulfill the amount needed. The end result is a historical renovation that blends seamlessly with the original home and gives the owner an area to entertain and show off to their friends.

This was a significant addition to a small bungalow/craftsman style house in Lexington, MA. The addition included a master suite, a new and enlarged kitchen, a family room, a three season porch and better access to the back yard. As a bonus they clients got a large amount of living space in the basement. They wanted to maintain the craftsman character of the house. This photograph is of the rear of the house almost completed. Notice that a lot of the craftsman details were maintained in the renovation/addition.
