Additional notes
Type
of project
Extent
of project
The
project consisted of a sunroom, kitchen enlargement, and creation of a usable upstairs by changing
the staircase and adding a bathroom.
The dark line on the above plans
indicates outside wall foundations.
The new room (above right) is a family
room/sunroom.
The old bedroom is
now a study.
The staircase, which once was in the kitchen, is now in the
study under the edge of the old roof. The kitchen, without the staircase, is
now
much larger.
While
rooms were being redefined, all passageways
were being enlarged. This created more flow between spaces and a
feeling of open space.
Because
the age of the original house, major engineering was necessary.
Some of
this was done in house, but in this case Miller engineering was
extremely helpful.
