Challenge

An existing square home with a choppy floor plan and very dark spaces. Create a single story addition with better spatial flow, additional bedroom and bathroom. Create a family home with room for growth that allows for long term living, indoor-outdoor dining, and incorporate as much edible landscaping as possible.

Solution

Courtyard house! Rearrange the existing floorplan & add a 780sf wing to reorganize the circulation of the home around a private courtyard. Open up the front of the home to the lovely corner lot gardens. Invest in features that will allow the home to be livable and comfortable in all seasons.
