House on Long Island - Port Washington, New York
| This renovation of an original Levittown House involved ripping off the illegal bedrooms and bath in the existing attic and designing an entire new second floor with two bedrooms, a hall bathroom and a Master Bedroom Suite. The first floor was largely converted into loft space, removing walls to open up the living room to connect to a new study and a double height family room addition that replaced a carport. The crucial design move was to maintain the existing roof overhang so that the second floor is perceived as a series of dormers, maintaining the overall scale of the existing structure while doubling it's size. |
