John and Sam have been framing up a two-story addition for my friend Scott (another architect). Its starting to look like something!
The existing house is a cute little pointy-roofed cottage in a row of cute little pointy-roofed cottages. Scott’s design continues the theme, but adds his own modern details. (Both architectural and for energy performance.)
All the twinner houses in the row have flat roof sections in the back. This was a cost-saving measure in the original design. Scott’s addition leaves this flat roof section alone for future solar panels…but returns to the 12:12 pitched roof for the addition.
I can’t wait to see the stairwell finished. It is going to bring a lot of southern sunshine from above into the lower floor family room.
