The need for more outdoor living space caused the owner to consider moving. When the neighboring home came up for sale, the property was purchased to create one large lot. The goal to stretch the home across the lot, when the existing home was thin and deep…to fit the original lot, was accomplished with a new cabana/guest wing connected with a gallery made transparent with out-swing arched French doors. Careful attention was afforded to the massing of the addition to avoid the appearance of just “adding a wing” onto the new side of the property.
The addition of a new detached garage and pool mechanical room provided a natural placement for an outdoor living room with a fireplace, all the while enhancing the courtyard living surrounding the pool as the focal point.
The new hardscape was softened with an encompassing landscape design that succeeded in connecting the new front yard with the new rear yard. The hard-coat stucco, pre-cast concrete caps and surrounds, concrete barrel tile, and custom colored aluminum clad wood windows create a seamless blending of existing and new.
