This large, grandma shed is
a renovation completed in 2006 with the existing cedar shingle siding.
With the Medium sold, we were able to take out a second mortgage on
Small, allowing us to begin the renovation of Large. The roof over the
balcony of Large is conspicuously missing, a trick employed to take away
some of the total floor-area ratio, but makes for a nice place to hang
out on a starry night. The program was flipped, placing the four
bedrooms on the first floor, saving the second story for the kitchen,
family, and living room. The renovations also called for eliminating the
attic and knocking down the interior walls, thereby creating a more
light-filled and flexible space. To keep on budget, we used recycled
wood from Small to build the closets and the old joists found in the
basement to construct the stairs.
