This project found its inspiration in the original lines of the home, built in the early 20th century. This photo shows the mew garage which includes a bonus room/ office on the second floor, and a patio and rear covered porch. The rooflines were a challenge to work with, but eventually led to an opportunity for a covered porch with a gable roof that doubles as a rear entry to the great room and a covered grilling space. The entire rear of this home is part of the addition, and allowed for the owners to better connect with their rear yard as well as bringing more light into the rear of the home. A breezeway between the home and garage kept the original style of the home rather than an attached garage, suggesting more of a carriage house. The breezeway also allowed for more opportunities to place windows on exterior walls, and create a more open space overall.
