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.
