Pool - tropical pool idea in Los Angeles

S+H Construction and Architect Will Ruhl collaborated to transform and modernize this 3,500-square-foot contemporary home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Doug Hanna of S+H Construction recognized that this building, originally an abandoned municipal garage that was later converted to residential space in the late 1950’s by renowned architect Paul Rudolph, was not a typical project. With evidence of water damage and poor insulation, the goal was to make the house energy-efficient and weather tight home with the help of Zero Energy Design. S+H installed translucent polycarbonate window panels to bring light and warmth to the back room of the house, which was formerly unlivable for several months of the year due to the lack of installation. The improved room now offers heating, cooling, and high density foam insulation, and is now home to the new owners’ extensive book collection. The S+H team also installed triple-glazed, super insulated, sliding glass doors—which required modification of the slab deck and steel trusses—to offer outdoor access for the new residents.

The owners of this home near Denver University wanted to improve the curb appeal of their home. The new porch incorporates strong symmetry, centered on the front entry door in order to impose order to the otherwise arbitrary front facade. A false window was added to balance the elevation of the projecting wall to the left of the door. Turned balusters and newel posts from Vintage Woodworks add detail and visual interest. All windows are Marvin Integrity with fiberglass frames and low-e insulating glass. Photo by Robert R. Larsen, A.I.A.

A sunroom addition can look seamless and as if it was part of the original structure if done correctly. We have done many additions over the past 35 years, several of which look like this one. We started off with a concrete slab and added an insulated roof, glass windows, and electricity. Now this space is complete and ready to use year-round!
