Residential Exterior
GRAND AWARD

The central challenge of this job was to provide additional space for a remodeled kitchen that fit the existing house and surrounding gardens. The intent was to design the addition so that it looked like part of the original house. The clients also wanted a cozy spot from which to view their award wining gardens. With this in mind a number of study models were presented to the client. The client chose the one with a flat roof and parapet wall.

The construction and structural challenge was to open up the side of the existing kitchen wide enough so that the new kitchen space was a seamless rectangle. We used brick, white washed to match the existing brick, and Pella Architectural series windows completed the look of authenticity. Even the stair and landing were stained gray to give the patina of age. Soon with the regrowth of the vines and bushes no one will know we had been there.
