Project Description

From the exterior the addition to this Ranch style house blends into the neighborhood; however Alfonso & Harmon Architects added a contemporary surprise on the inside. As guests come around the corner of the Living Room they are greeted by the dramatic volume hidden within. The Great Room is an open vaulted space with four large skylights near the ridge. Throughout the day, the room is evenly lit with a soft glow of diffused natural light. Toward the backyard is a large folding glass door blurring the distinction between interior and exterior. In the kitchen are maple cabinets, quartz countertop, stainless steel and frosted glass doors on either side of the hood, and a glass tile backsplash. The home was built by Hanson Construction.
