The client requested to add on to her existing colonial-style home to create a comfortable living space for her parents next door. Responding to an extensive wish list, the design thoughtfully expands the house while preserving its historic character. The large addition seamlessly ties into the existing roofline through a combination of hip roofs and a gable-covered entry, complemented by new horizontal clapboard siding and traditional window features such as simulated divided lite grilles and shutters. Careful attention to scale ensures the original structure remains the primary visual focus, with the new addition harmoniously integrated to enhance both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
