Great Room Addition
The owners had a charming but modest cape with low ceilings and small rooms on a narrow, deep, sloping site. The house is located in a suburban town, but the property feels almost rural because of the neighbors’ farmland on two sides. The owners wanted to add a great room that would take advantage of the views and connect with the landscape on two levels. The addition is a barn-like structure, in keeping with the rural character of the site and the simple forms of the original house. The great room is on the upper, entry level, and there is a bedroom suite and storage on the lower, terrace level.
I do not like the way the columns look
