The owners of this 1960’s colonial wanted an addition that would blend harmoniously with the character of their family and neighborhood while simultaneously upgrading and modernizing their home. Through the careful placement of modern window boxes, Shou Sugi Ban siding, and black casement windows, the home is given a sleek yet timeless feel. An overlay of thermally modified ash siding covers the walls and ceiling of the porch to provide a warm, inviting entry.
