Andrew Sariti The owners of this Cape Cod wanted to enlarge their kitchen and create a more open, light-filled living space on the main floor. We built a 475 square foot addition on the rear of the home. The structure has a simple shed roof and the exterior walls are clad with white fiber cement siding. We designed the shed roof of the addition to fit below the dormer windows in the attic level. Accent sections of Ipe add interest to the simple palette. The windows are fiberglass in a modern style with a light blue finish on the exterior and interior. A sliding door fits in a recessed alcove. Two skylights in the roof add overhead light in the kitchen and sitting room.
