CHALLENGE Add a second story with a master suite, bedroom, and bathroom over a 50's ramber.
SOLUTION Prairie style proportions were used as a complement to the existing roof slope and overhangs, reducing the perception of height from the curb. The addition was designed to create a front entry foyer on the main level where the new stairs are housed. The second story also creates a welcoming, covered porch below.
