The building shell is up, roughed-in and insulated. We are making the final tweaks before sheetrock but the sense of the space and its connection to the outside has taken shape. It is already exciting even without the sheetrock. the floor to ceiling glass of the large sliders gives you the impression that the building disappears at moments and the 10′ foot ceilings give the feeling of openness. Views to the outdoors and the natural light provided reinforce this.

The background, this is an addition to a small suburban home for a growing family. The intent was to create a modern living/dining/kitchen space with a strong outdoor connection to the yard while re-purposing the smaller more contained living room in the existing house to a master bedroom suite. efficient and cost effective.
