We added a bedroom, bath, and closet above the single story kitchen of this historic house in Trinity Park, Durham, NC. The roof, shiplap siding, and punch windows all take clues from existing geometries and materials. Large glass openings on the rear wall offer views of the well-tended garden below. An open shower with water flowing from the ceiling also includes a simple cypress bench and pebbled floor. A renovated bath allowed passage - via sliding zinc doors - to the new spaces.
