“The addition has to look like it was always there,” said the client. Thus, it had to be seamless. “I want to be able to cook while talking to my dinner guests.” We needed to create a visual and link between the kitchen and dining rooms that did not exist before. “I would like a fireplace and a wrap-around porch.” We designed a new fireplace with a sawtooth brick detail similar to the new detail outside. Bookcases sport a surround-reveal detail that is one of our favorites. The color above the fireplace fades into a deep indigo as the light recedes.
