A family with young children in Concord was outgrowing their raised ranch. They decided to add a second story by raising the roof and adding a shed dormer to make space for three bedrooms, a bathroom and a new stair with open oak treads, metal stringers and cable rails. Glass landings and a triple skylight above the stair lets light filter down 3 levels. Cascading front windows hint at the new stair behind.
Porch Converted to Small Sunroom
A long time resident of an historic home in Wayland wanted a space where she could enjoy a beautiful western view. Rather than add on, we decided to convert an existing covered porch into a sunroom, by adding windows and sliding glass doors. The design was approved by the Historic Commission. The existing brick patio remained as the floor as well as the wood bead board ceiling. Now the owner can relax and watch the sun set year round.
