River Hills Renovation

This mid-century ranch had several prior additions that felt incohesive and left the structure searching for character. The primary goal was to add a second floor that would be the kids’ zone, with 3 large bedrooms and a play space.

In order to make the second floor feel part of the main house, a whole-house exterior facelift was designed, pulling in new materials such as Longboard siding and board-formed concrete to bridge the 2nd floor structure with the first.  A new large front entry covered porch and oversized pivot door creates an entry sequence worthy of the rest of the home.
