Additions & Dormers
Adding square footage and headroom without making the new work look bolted on to the old house.
The hard part of an addition is not the new space, it is the seam where new meets old. Rooflines, siding, floor heights, and trim all have to resolve so the addition looks like it was always there. That is a planning and framing problem before it is a finish problem.
Dormers are the same idea applied to a roof: done well, they add real headroom and light to an upstairs that felt cramped, and they read as part of the original design.
What this usually involves
- Structural planning and engineering coordination
- Foundation or framing for the new footprint
- Roofline and dormer framing that ties into the existing roof
- Matching siding, trim, and rooflines
- Full interior fit-out of the new space
Done right, nobody can tell where the original house ends and the addition begins.
