The sophisticated study adds a touch of moodiness to the home. Our team custom designed the 12' tall built in bookcases and wainscoting to add some much needed architectural detailing to the plain white space and 22' tall walls. A hidden pullout drawer for the printer and additional file storage drawers add function to the home office. The windows are dressed in contrasting velvet drapery panels and simple sophisticated woven window shades. The woven textural element is picked up again in the area rug, the chandelier and the caned guest chairs. The ceiling boasts patterned wallpaper with gold accents. A natural stone and iron desk and a comfortable desk chair complete the space.

The new design expanded the footprint of the home to 1,271 square feet for the first level and 1,156 for the new second level. A new entry with a quarter turn stair leads you into the original living space. The old guest bedroom that was once accessed through the dining room is now connected to the front living space by pocket doors. The new open concept creates a continuous flow from the living space through the dining into the kitchen. Photo by Tre Dunham

Designed by Tim Higbee of Closet Works Creating the pantry/utility closet and desk space provided a different challenge as we were not abutting existing cabinetry. However, it offered the opportunity to employ the same design technique as used on the mud room wall — stepping a portion of the system back and making the upper cabinet less deep, thereby visually opening up the sunroom.

Designed by Tim Higbee of Closet Works Our goal of having the sunroom feel open — not allowing the closet systems to block light from streaming in — while still using the space as effectively and efficiently as possibly was successfully achieved. As a result, there is an Alice in Wonderland-esque feeling as the room effortlessly expands from small to incredibly wide open and spacious.

With its many windows letting in ample natural light, this sunroom is the perfect home office. White ceiling fan, trim, IKEA office furniture and vinyl desk chair pop against the dark blue of the ceiling. White IKEA shelving units, located along the wall and below the desk, provide much needed storage. The ceramic blue vintage lamp provides additional lighting, while the blue and orange tones of the rug unify the space. Photography by FishEye Studios

Tom Holdsworth Photography Our clients wanted to create a room that would bring them closer to the outdoors; a room filled with natural lighting; and a venue to spotlight a modern fireplace. Early in the design process, our clients wanted to replace their existing, outdated, and rundown screen porch, but instead decided to build an all-season sun room. The space was intended as a quiet place to read, relax, and enjoy the view. The sunroom addition extends from the existing house and is nestled into its heavily wooded surroundings. The roof of the new structure reaches toward the sky, enabling additional light and views. The floor-to-ceiling magnum double-hung windows with transoms, occupy the rear and side-walls. The original brick, on the fourth wall remains exposed; and provides a perfect complement to the French doors that open to the dining room and create an optimum configuration for cross-ventilation. To continue the design philosophy for this addition place seamlessly merged natural finishes from the interior to the exterior. The Brazilian black slate, on the sunroom floor, extends to the outdoor terrace; and the stained tongue and groove, installed on the ceiling, continues through to the exterior soffit. The room's main attraction is the suspended metal fireplace; an authentic wood-burning heat source. Its shape is a modern orb with a commanding presence. Positioned at the center of the room, toward the rear, the orb adds to the majestic interior-exterior experience. This is the client's third project with place architecture: design. Each endeavor has been a wonderful collaboration to successfully bring this 1960s ranch-house into twenty-first century living.
