After the initial bungalow remodel, the
attic was converted to a habitable floor
consisting of a new bedroom and den. In
order to provide access to these new rooms,
a compact stair hall was added to the side of
the house which leaves a minimal footprint.
The ascent up the new spiral staircase is
flooded in natural light from the skylight
above while connecting to the new exterior
deck below.
A spacious family room was added between
the house and storefront, connecting the
two and forming the new courtyard. The
new roof deck, built atop the family room
addition, is also accessed by the new stair
hall. The family room and stair hall are clad
in the same materials as the original house
remodel; torched cedar, clear cedar and
white plaster. The expansion transitions the
original house to the new yard and existing
storefront, making one integral with the other.
It maintains a separate identity from the
original house and storefront while obscuring
the boundaries of inside and outside.
