Two story addition: Master bedroom / bath, family room

I built an addition on to this house to get one more bedroom with a bathroom, and a family room below. We made the structure “hold it’s own” structurally with an insulated polished concrete slab for the family room floor level with the yard. 1/2 flight of stairs up you get to the main floor. 1/2 more up is the new bedroom and bath. The result of this split level is to get the additional space and not overwhelm the sweet look of the original home. I think it worked well.

…the little garage looked like it was ready for a trip to the moon after insulation.

Garage becomes office

Many people are getting creative adapting their old garages. Here is one I turned from a dusty drafty stall to an insulated bright space ready for new ideas.
Detailing includes: Clear aluminum thermal-pane overhead garage door ready to throw open to merge with the scene on the patio. Recycled industrial ridge beam to open up the space.
