I’m standing at the corner of the old house and the addition. Now, as part of this project, we actually tore down something that was here before—a mudroom and an indoor pool, if you can believe it or not!
And so, we’ve built something that is better to scale with the house. It’s one story, has all the functionality and features they need for their mudroom and their garage. We’ve matched details, so these custom curved brackets that are out of shingle appear on the back side of the house on a couple different bays. Mike, our carpenter, matched them exactly—you cannot tell that it’s new.
