Home Before

Home After

A new face was in order for this home. This was a ranch style house with one continuous low roofline. Facing a golf course, the land value had significantly increased since it was built in the late 1950’s, so overbuilding the area wasn’t a real concern. The Owners wanted to increase the openness of the interior, create a new entry and living area for entertainment and also add a new master bedroom complete with a modern updated bathroom.

The solution was to not try to hide the low horizontal form of the house but to balance it, by taking a lesson from prairie style architecture. First by adding a focal point at the entry area, which is the only roof that was lifted above the original fascia line. Then adding the new living room to the left and the new master bedroom to the right. Both with hip roofs that are perpendicular to the existing roof.
