The existing raised ranch was sited on the property that rose from left to right, with a two-car garage under the main-level of the house, on the left when viewed from the street. The concept to mirror the garage to the opposite side of the property allowed the Garage to be more proximate to the main level, and the new, carefully appointed Mudroom and Pantry. This allows for efficient gathering of belongings, overflow food items, etc.. in a proximate and easy path from the Garage, rather than in through the basement and up a flight of stairs.

Once the orientation was flipped, a full walkout lower level was possible. Integrating the lower level with pool and stacked, exterior covered entertaining spaces allows the house to host in all seasons, with both interior and yard-based entertaining.

The sweeps of the repeated gable rooflines lends the house a classic, traditional flavor, with high quality, low maintenance materials reinforcing the aesthetic. An ample front porch organizes the exterior forms and helps provide cover for guests and deliveries. A second floor bonus space above a centralized, higher-ceiling Family Room below allows for the kids to host friends at the house, without the less-desirable need to split off to individual bedrooms.
