  • Appealing Addition

The Outcome
"The new kitchen/family room provides a circulation loop from the existing rooms and opens to the garden beyond," says Stephen. Windows surround the spacious area on three sides, allowing natural light to spill into the room as well as connect the space to the outdoors.

Why It Won
Hands down, the link to the past made this home most appealing to our judges. The addition gives the house a large living space where the family can gather, and the twin gables harken back to family history.

"The appearance of the double, steeply pitched gables and broad porch make for a pleasing facade. The addition has greatly improved this home's rear elevation." Cynthia Stewart, AIA, ASID

"This is a well-designed addition that successfully fuses with the main house, particularly in the continued use of brick." David Barker, AIA
