Extending Exteriors

The homeowners couldn't resist the 1940s stone cottage, but the growing family needed more space than the 1,800-square-foot home provided. So they added on. To keep the addition from distracting from the home's original architectural charm, they settled on a straightforward carriage house design. Sitting the addition at an offset angle from the main house created a niche for a small patio.
