When the clients came to us with this parcel, demolition was never the answer.
The existing home was a dated yellow vinyl sided ranch with no real architectural character. But it had good bones. So instead of starting from scratch, we designed an addition that almost doubled the footprint, two completely independent living spaces for two generations, while making it look like one home from the street the entire time.
That was the real challenge. The existing side was re-clad in pale brick, rooflines were redesigned, windows replaced, and shutters added to match the new Belgian Farmhouse language next door. The original entry was hidden so the two read as one.
Bell-cast curved roofline over the garage, eyebrow dormers, steep gables, and that quiet restrained elegance the style is known for. Nothing loud. Just really well considered.
