Case Study 1 – Two Story Addition

This project involved adding a two-story 800 sq. ft. addition to the end of an existing home that included: an expanded and upgraded kitchen with adjacent dining area; wrapping the chimney in field stone and removing existing exterior walls to make the fireplace/chimney a central feature of the addition; blending the old and new sections in a seamless, open design and adding decks on each exterior level.
