This distinct approach allowed for functional use of the interconnected space and provided for warm natural light to permeate the interior rooms.
With this unique angle added to the profile, we connected this new structure with pathways along the buildings and across the property under a series of separate roofs.

This project was a unique build opportunity with a goal of adding functional living space by way of an attached garage and over-the-garage living space that was seamlessly attached to the existing property for a growing family who already had one small child. Working with the existing driveway and natural angles in the landscape we set the new structure at an angle on the property.
