The main goal for the owners of this 1926 house was an addition to gain more closet space near their main floor master bedroom. During the design stage, they also decided to create a zen home office for one of the owner’s reiki business that had direct access for visitors from the backyard, rather than walking through the house. Painted stucco was used on the new addition to match a previously added sunroom at the other side of the house. Matching windows were also added. The proposed design featured a simple shed roof at the side addition and a hip roof at the front and back. View of addition from the back of the house – the French doors lead into the office. We extended the existing flagstone patio to the addition and office entry. In assessing the feasibility of the project, the first thing the designer did was to check the zoning regulations. After a thorough study, it was determined that a 7-foot side addition was possible. This 7-foot addition was adequate for a built-in cabinetry storage and a new powder room. The design proposal also included a rear wraparound 13ftx13ft home office, that gave the existing rear patio a courtyard feel. The proposed addition was accessed from both the existing master bedroom and another bedroom that was converted into a family/ TV room. The main access to the home office addition was through the backyard.

The main goal for the owners of this 1926 house was an addition to gain more closet space near their main floor master bedroom. New built-in closets in the 7-foot wide addition are easily accessed from the master bedroom. • We framed the storage cabinets to look built-in. To break up a wall of storage, we added a window seat that is open underneath. This photos shows one of the three skylights in the addition. In assessing the feasibility of the project, the first thing the designer did was to check the zoning regulations. After a thorough study, it was determined that a 7-foot side addition was possible. The existing house floors were not level. We replaced and sistered many joists as they had deteriorated over the 93 year age of the house. New white oak flooring covers both the addition and the affected sitting room and master bedroom.

This addition incorporates a great deal of symmetry as reflected in the skylights, lighting, closet layouts and window placement. To maintain the widest possible opening to the home office without blocking the new powder room entry, we installed one narrow and one wider door. • Due to the narrow side setback and the west orientation of the addition, we added three skylights to bring more light into the addition and adjacent interior spaces. The layout of the skylights proved to be very tricky as they had to be centered off the finished interior closets as well as the existing stone. Our team was so dedicated to creating perfect symmetry that we readjusted three skylights by 5-inches – after we framed and drywalled. A transom allows light to flow into the addition even when the doors to the office are closed. After we removed the original windows on the side of the house, our masons carefully removed the existing granite walls under the two windows that were converted to doorways. They used grinders to cut the mortar joints and remove sections of the 8-inch thick wall. The replacement pieces of stone were sized and reinstalled to reveal natural edges with no cut marks.
