Thoughtfully designed second storey addition enhancing natural light and ventilation in a contemporary family home.
This second storey addition was designed to complement the style of the existing dwelling. One existing bedroom was opened up to make way for a semi-floating feature hardwood staircase and multi-purpose sitting/family area. The stairs lead up to a cantilevered boardwalk that floats over the living/dining areas providing access to the new master retreat and additional bedroom. This open boardwalk along with expansive highlight windows allows natural light to flood the new upper level and also the previously dark ground floor living areas. These windows also provide great cross ventilation, solar heat gain and the ability to night purge hot air in summer. The end result is a fresh, well ventilated, contemporary family home full of natural light.
