The owner of a "craftsmany" home with many nice features, but a dated and poorly designed kitchen, contacted MTA with the notion of providing a great room to let the kids and adults spread out. Rather than going to the expense of adding to the existing footprint, MTA developed plans that would reorganize the kitchen, including providing a social sitting area and opening up the existing living room to the kitchen, creating the feeling of a "great room" with much less cost.

A small 50 square foot addition provided the room necessary to allow for double French doors opening out to and extending the kitchen to the owner's lovely garden. Above the addition, a deck was created off of a new bedroom for one of the owner's daughters. The deck allows the rear elevation to continue the stepping up from garden to house, connecting house and garden visually.
The new bedroom and a new shared bathroom for the couple's two daughters were created from an office and formerly enclosed porch. The new bathroom freed up the other bathroom on the floor to be remodeled and used as a master bath with access from the master bedroom, thoroughly updating and refining the previous bathroom.
The warm yet modern aesthetic was the result of architect and owner working closely and collaboratively. As with all clients, MTA presented different options for finishes and fixtures and cabinets, allowing the owner to be empowered in the process while ensuring receipt of a project they love now and into the future.
