| Addition
to a Boston Arts and Crafts house |
| This 2-story addition was designed for a charming but
undersized home on a street in the Dorchester neighborhood of
Boston. A
modest budget called for a new Television Room, Breakfast Room, 2
Bedrooms and a Bath. The entire new program plus two exterior
balconies
were accommodated within a footprint of 732 square feet. Right: New first and second floor balconies in the addition engage generous tree boughs in the rear yard. |

The
addition, partially visible behind the tree at left, extends behind the
original house (see photo, right). The addition continues the
vocabulary of the house
and
strengthens its street presence, placing
it in more appropriate scale with its larger neighbors. |

The 2-story addition extends across
the full width of the house. Combined with an old garage that was
converted to an outbuilding, it frames a
pleasant outdoor yard for dining and recreation. |
