The client wanted to expand their existing Cape Cod style home into a more spacious and modernized two-story home. The new upper level has a master suite with a private bathroom, two other large bedrooms, and a hallway bathroom. The rooms to the front have raised ceilings to accommodate the large arched windows.
To expand the main level, the existing hot tub and deck behind the home was relocated to allow additional space for a larger kitchen and a breakfast nook.
The exterior aesthetics were also important. Several different options were created for the addition to give the new configuration a more interesting character than the original unarticulated home.
