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.

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.

We prepared a masterplan for a couple with twins to remodel a kitchen/dining/bathroom area and add a sunroom and deck with storage below. The sunroom and deck, were started at the beginning of the Covid Pandemic. The twins, who were attending school remotely, learned a lot by watching the addition being built. The gas fireplace was provided by Littleton Stove shop. The green slate, in a Versailles Pattern, was installed over a Schluter-Ditra membrane. The ceiling is MDF V groove paneling and the windows are Marvin Elevate. The deck has a Trex Rain Escape Underdeck Drainage System, which keeps water out of the storage space below. The access doors and screening are made of low maintenance Azek boards. The railing has round black aluminum balusters and a cocktail rail.
