Michael Merrill Design Studio designed this 110 square foot guest bedroom in the quietest, simplest, most unobtrusive way possible. Diagonal sightlines, open back chairs, furniture that does not extend to the floor, open weave fabrics at the windows all contribute to a sense of spaciousness.

This renovation and addition responds to its context of a neighborhood of existing 1960s vintage single-story ranch houses that is being transformed by the appearance of new two-story homes. The renovation and addition stay within the language of the existing house, especially on the exterior, and create a relaxed, unpretentious, and comfortable atmosphere. Casey Dunn Photography

The new garage with an overall ceiling height of 8 feet, storage for trash, bikes, kayaks, tools, and extensive shelves was connected into the existing historic garage with a new interior door, and to the existing house with a new interior concrete stairway to an unused storage room in the basement that was converted into a new coat/mud room. The property and the neighbors affected yards were then re-landscaped by Dianne Seiffert who's loving hand and extraordinary sensitivity to context and the living environment created a beautiful and serine yard with seasonally flowering plantings for the children and family to enjoy all year.
