The clients of this addition were interested in expanding their existing 2 bedrooms, 2-bath house.

Cruciform in plan, the existing house did not “lend” itself to expansion easily.

A strategy of utilizing contrasting elements that lightly touch the existing house clarifies the relationship between old and new.
