I was very pleased when the new owners of "Black Earth Studio", a country residence that I designed in 2011, asked me to design an addition to the home. The original building was designed for use as a second home by my original clients, but the new owners planned to use it as their full-time residence and wanted to expand it.
The addition adds two bedrooms, a second bathroom and a laundry room. Set further back in the hill, the addition steps up one level, creating a third story.
Following the lead of the original design, the straight stair to the new third level is stretched along the north side of the addition, leaving the sunny south side free for the bedrooms and new bathroom. The new laundry room is back-to-back with the existing bathroom, with the new bathroom above it, consolidating the plumbing in one area.
It worked nicely to stack the south-facing windows one atop the other, creating a pleasing south facade.
The addition is currently under construction by JG Development of Blue Mounds, who also built the original home.
