the ceiling of the existing house remains consistent throughout everything 'old' including at the new windows
meant to look original. at the first step of the transition to the new the ceiling drops several inches and remains
pinched until it rises again in the large garden hallway of the addition to reveal the underside of the roof. we
tucked a second bathroom into this transition space that can be used as a guest bath or as a bath for the
nursery bedroom. we also integrated open shelving for the kitchen and a linen closet with the controls for the
radiant heat in the space. adding the tall, narrow windows and making the stair wide enough to comfortably
lounge on, makes the space feel less like a hallway. the floor in the original kitchen is temporary for inspection
as is the stair to the backyard. the grey plaster will be covered in a grown surface from a black brick planter at
the base.
