CHALLENGES:
Owner wanted to expand the existing 5,000-square-foot southern colonial-style home. Available land suitable for the addition of a master suite was limited and in public view. Also, the new suite could only be accessed through the living room.
SOLUTIONS:
Integrating the existing rear porch as a gallery, created new circulation to accommodate growth at both ends of the house. Treated the master suite as a “green house” that attached to the main house as a breezeway. Maintained the formality of the house without compromise.
