This unique but
unorganized existing home was once three separate structures that had
been joined by previous remodeling activity. The home’s location on the
lot within the landscaping encouraged the homeowners to leave the
existing structure and remodel, versus demolition and starting over. The
setback requirements dictated that the design be a ranch plan with what
little upper level that was added to be within the roof, allowing even
the steeper pitch of the new roof to be well below the allowed building
height with little impact on the neighbor’s view corridors. Half of the
roof was removed to make way for a new 12:12 roof pitch which was
overlapped onto the existing and also provide the space to create the
upper level craft/sewing room and workshop storage above the garage. All
new windows, siding, HVAC, exterior structural slab patios and interior
finishes complete the remodel.
