Project Description

A small Bungalow was transformed into a Dutch Colonial home to suit the client’s New England traditional aesthetic, yet is compatible in mass and scale with the predominantly single-story neighborhood. Alfonso & Harmon Architects successfully led the client through the difficult approval processes of adding a second story to a substandard lot where the existing house did not meet setback requirements. The new second floor contains three Bedrooms, two Bathrooms, a Homework area and Laundry in an efficient floor plan. A galley Kitchen with Bianco Carrara marble countertops, a desk, and a built-in banquette with raised-panel wainscoting flows into the Family Room with built-in storage and window seats surrounding the entertainment center.
