This original early 20th century gabled farmhouse style home was in need of expansion in order to suit the owners' needs. A new great room expansion to the rear was designed along with a master bedroom suite above. Reconfiguration of the existing upstairs bedrooms and bath were required in order to allow for the new master. At the exterior, the important concern was that the addition relate well to the original home and that it not appear added onto. Existing side dormers were expaned to fit the new layout and revised hallway. A shed dormer with small punched windows aligns with the new gable dormer and allows light into the master bath.
