THE OBJECTIVE
To transform an aging, boxy house into a spa-inspired dream home; suitable for a family with an active entertaining schedule. See the entire construction and progression of this incredible top story addition on our Flickr page!
HOW IT WAS ACHIEVED
The existing second floor plate was undisturbed while additions were made, requiring flush reinforcing within the main ceilings. Extension over garage created for master suite and gives rear elevation a dramatic symmetry. Second floor substantially removed. Fir-clad, exposed beam, supporting building’s original rear wall, visually lengthens contours of now combined kitchen/dining room while providing rich, textural contrast to the millwork’s smooth, dark-stained finish. A large centre island with prep sink, built-in wine fridge, and casual barstool seating, becomes the room’s working hub; a gathering place for guests and family. New multi-gabled roofline, ledgestone accents, wood soffits and the chimney cap give a contemporary twist to traditional styling found throughout surrounding mature neighbourhood. The interior of the home received a more open dynamic through the removal of partitions and with the traffic flow now enhancing the entertaining spaces. The new layout encourages interaction among guests and provides easy access to the remodeled living room and new patios.
