About the Project Our Clients, the proud owners of a landmark 1860’s era Italianate home, desired to improve their daily ingress and egress. With a growing young family, the lack of a proper entry area and attached garage needed to be addressed. They also desired a guest suite to accommodate frequent out-of-town visitors. But in the homeowner’s own words, “He didn’t want to be known as the guy who ‘screwed up’ this beautiful old home”.
Enter Architectural Resource. Our design challenge was to provide the needed space of a significant addition, but do so in a manner respecting the historic home. Our design solution lay in providing a “hyphen”: a multi-functional daily entry breezeway connector linking the main house with a new garage and in-law suite above. Come see an award-wining project tastefully woven into the character and ambience of the elegant home and discover how we can bring the same inspired design to your project.
