Commercial Avenue
Addition
Construction completed in 2022
A landscape designer with a beautiful backyard lived in a home with a cramped kitchen, no dining room, and a dismal connection between the home and the outdoors. This project solved all of these issues by moving the kitchen out of the high-traffic area and adding a light-filled dining room that opens to the yard. Finally, the owner can host backyard parties or cook with a friend. The addition features a flat roof for planting as a green roof, which also allows it to be structurally independent from the 100-year-old house.
"Robin did a fantastic job identifying all my goals and coming up with creative solutions. I love my kitchen addition so much that I have returned to cooking. The choice of windows is in perfect balance with the space. the decking and steps into my backyard are a lovely and welcoming transition.
My whole house feels completely transformed."
