Case Study 2 - Second Story Addition

Our goals for the project:

• Construct a new second floor addition while preserving the existing footprint
• Create a new formal entry and staircase
• Construct a new dining room
• Expand and update the existing kitchen
• Tie together old and new construction with extrerior effects for better curb appeal

Construction
• Roof and rafters were removed in preparation for construction
• New floor joists were installed for the new second floor
• New second floor plan constructed on new joists
• Existing carport was enclosed for incorporation into kitchen and dining plan
• Front porch was extended to center on new formal entry
• Existing dining room ceiling was removed for new 2-story foyer and staircase
• Roof, dormers and new front porch were installed

Exterior
• New stack stone facing was applied to front porch and walkway columns
• Box bay window installed on front elevation to expand new dining room and for front interest point
• Lap siding installed at 4” reveal to give project a more period look
• Architectural shingles, black gutters and custom shutters were installed
• A second floor master bedroom deck and pergola were added
