This addition to the front of a 1960’s modern home included several renovations to the living room and hallon the first floor. The scope of the project grew from a simple covered entry and new closet to the inclusion of a sunroom to take advantage of the southern exposure of the site. A roof deck evolved from the need to make the mass of the addition to scale with the rest of the house. Over time, it became a major design element that has become one of the most important spaces in the house for the owners.

The design elements and materials for the new and renovated work were selected to provide continuity with the existing house. Picking up on the house’s modern language, these elements include a flat roof with deep overhangs, large areas of glass and a metal roof railing. Inside, natural materials are emphasized, including a slate floor, and a cedar ceiling and trims.
