Project Name:

BOAMAN/SAVARD RESIDENCE

Program:

Whole house remodel with new second floor.

Description:

The clients’ primary goals for their project were a more appealing curbside appearance and a stronger connection to their generous backyard. The addition of a new second floor afforded the opportunity to dedicate the ground level to public spaces and transform the non-descript ranch house into a craftsman style bungalow in the Bay Region tradition.

The family room, breakfast nook, and dining room were laid out as an L-shape on the first floor to create a west-facing courtyard. Generous porches were added to both the front and rear to create transition zones between the indoors and outdoors.
