The Cary Residence addition
was designed on a wooded site which slopes southward away from the existing
house with views of nature. We worked closely
with the clients to design an addition that works to complement the existing
1980’s contemporary structure. The
design focus revolved around three main areas of the house; a living space,
exterior views and a translucent overhead roof condition at the front entry. We were able to expand the clients’ exterior
views by redesigning their existing multilevel deck and installing horizontal cable
rail systems throughout to open up their views.
A new unheated sunroom allows the owners to enjoy views of the landscape
throughout the year and a new covered porch with a translucent roof will add a
high design element to the north façade of the house as well as provide
protection from the elements and allow natural light to filter into the
existing entry foyer.
