Update:
This residence has received a TRPA Best in the Basin 2009 award for
Best Adaptation of a Vintage Structure
After
The 2 story 10 ft wide addition is blended into the existing house by matching the stone and the roof line. Adding dormers to the house that match the addition also helps.
The shed roof over the entry porch and the dormers on each side keeps the snow away from the house and stairs for better winter use and function.
The mater bedroom with a deck opens up in the back with light and views of the lake that are an appreciated contrast from the original home.
The new dormer above brings light into the original living room with the original windows and fireplace. The log collar ties remain in place.
The original front door remains with its unique hardware and the original bedroom over the dining room remains. The new dormer adds space and light.
A very efficient stair was fit into a small back area to access the upstairs so that the old stairs could be removed to provide a more open living area and a balcony to continue to the master addition.
The original chinked log interior walls add warmth and character to the kitchen.
Reconfiguration of the back entrances to the old kitchen and removal of the wall and stairs between the living room and kitchen provide for an open functional family area.
This quaint master suite has a fireplace, a 2 story closet and access to more storage over the old roof in the back of the house. A great use of space.
This tight bedroom area was opened up as a loft to the living room below to bring more light and space into the living room. The built in book shelves are a good use of the attic shape space.
