Three Big Ideas The family wanted a completely new second floor and improved main floor space. In joint venture with McGrath Group Interior Design, Perkins Architectural provided three options to accomplish the family’s goals. As these plans show, there is more than one way to add family space, enlarge a kitchen, add a music room, and provide a new bedroom level to a vintage One-story Victorian home. |

From Drawings to Reality It was very important that the finished addition blend seamlessly with the original Victorian-style home. Forms, materials, and details were drawn to create an “invisible” addition. The addition and upgraded house also met all applicable building codes and earthquake requirements. And finally, a skilled builder was essential to fulfill the project’s potential. |
