This traditional shingled house is a seamless blend of timeless charm and thoughtful transformation. Originally a single-story home, the design embraces its history while introducing a second story, accessed by a striking double-height staircase. Prominently positioned, the staircase is a centerpiece both inside and out, framed by expansive windows that bathe the space in natural light and create a sense of openness. The addition carefully incorporates traditional detailing, with natural stone elements and an architectural language inspired by the New Craftsman style, celebrating craftsmanship and the harmony between architecture and nature. This project demonstrates our commitment to amplifying the existing beauty of a structure, merging thoughtful craftsmanship with modern needs.
