Bedroom Addition
The client had a 1970s contemporary house and wanted to add a 3rd floor Bedroom for one of his daughters.
We kept the same shed roof vernacular and designed a new bedroom over an existing one, creating an open, high ceiling space. With the additional height on one side, we were able to have a sleeping loft which maximized the floor space. The window at the top of the new stair invites one up to explore the new space.

Large Addition To Accommodate Spectacular Water Views
The house is situated in the Saugatuck Shores area of Westport and has spectacular views of Long Island Sound. We designed a 2-story addition to the house that would capitalize on the view and give them the additional space they needed.
The addition includes a home office on the lower level and a large living room with vaulted ceilings on the upper level. Both floor open to a generous deck overlooking the water with great views of Long Island in the distance.
Screened Porch Retreat
My client had a dilapidated shed in the woods behind her house and wanted to replace it with a screened porch. She wanted a simple room, surrounded by nature where she could go to read, relax and have conversations. I created a gabled structure, with screens all around and exposed heavy timber collar ties.
She is very happy with it!
