The goal of this residential renovation was to take
greater advantage of the opportunities presented by the volume of the
existing structure, increasing square footage while adding minimal new
envelope. The result is an addition without “an addition.” A ‘70’s-era
modern home, the existing roof pitch of 45 degrees rendered much of the
existing floor area of the 2nd and mezzanine levels unusable. A
portion of the existing roof was removed to create a ‘pop-up’ producing
space for an expanded master suite with new bath and dressing room.
Openings sliced in interior partitions and a portion of an interior
balcony were removed to improve connectivity and bounce daylight. A new
stair links the now-accessible third floor offices to the lower level
and provides an anchor to newly-opened interior.
