The big move here was to re-think the landscaping. The existing home is on a corner lot, the single car garage was too small by today's standards, so we relocated the driveway to the front left side of the house. Created a car court at the top near the front door and a drive way along the perimeter to the new garages. The new addition includes a two car garage below, a casual dining space off the kitchen and a new screened porch the top level is a new Master Bedroom Suite. Regrading the site, we working with civil engineers and a professional Landscape Architects to create outdoor living spaces and integrate the house with the site. As a corner lot, on a main street, privacy was achieved bu skillfully placing planting so as to create a soft barrier with out "walling in" the lot. here you can see that the old driveway area was turned into a gracious patio for dining alfresco.
