The Osei addition

A vaulted family-room addition with a black window wall to the garden, matched so well the neighbors asked when the house was built.

A family of six, a house with one gathering room. The addition adds 380 square feet of vaulted family room off the kitchen, with a window wall facing the garden and a built-in window seat that has become the house’s most contested territory.

From the street you cannot find the seam. Eave lines continue, siding reveals match, and the roof pitch mirrors the original, which is the entire trick of an addition that does not look like one.

“The addition matches so well that our neighbor of nine years asked if we had repainted. That is it. That is the review.”
