Brick Bungalow Dormer In Plymouth

This addition on Evergreen in Plymouth consisted of adding a master suite and loft area to an existing bungalow.  The brick on the two end gables was taken down and James Hardie siding added to the second floor to give a more seamless look to the overall appearance.  A shed dormer with a metal roof was also added to the front of the home to add much needed space and natural light to the existing office area on the second floor.

We also took out the existing vent from the front gable of the home, added a window and a new limestone surround that matched the original stone that was installed around the door and windows.

Overhangs were added to the side rakes as well as shed overhangs to break up the space between the brick and James Hardie siding.  Overall a very nice design.

Scissor trusses were used for the new space to create a cathedral ceiling in the master bedroom and loft.  Hardwood floors were added to match the existing oak flooring on the first floor.  A second furnace and A/C were also added to give the entire upstairs its own climate control.

In the final design the architect was able to turn the existing front gable attic space into a new walk-in closet area that was accessible from the new master bath.

Finally, the homeowners made very nice selections for the bathroom tile and vanities.
