The renovation of this house on a large sloping lot reinvigorates it for a young family. The design solution provides more family-oriented spaces by opening up the kitchen, converting a dormered attic & bedroom into a homework-play area and converting the existing garage into a family room with expansive French doors that open to a redesigned yard. A new “outdoor living room” is accentuated by a sheltered porch on the rear side of the new carriage house-garage and an elevated sun deck with an outdoor fireplace.
