Federal Addition
A handsome in town Federal house lacked the informal spaces important to a young family. The garage was repositioned to open the house to the backyard. An addition provides a large mud room, family room and porch detailed to be sympathetic to the original house. The casual living space is open to the kitchen while a porch opens the living space to the backyard. The energy performance and comfort of the house was improved while retaining the historic character of the house.
