The constraint

The existing rafters were undersized for a clean tie-in, and the alley grade left almost no room for a crawl access.

Outcome

The addition reads as part of the bungalow from the alley, and the kitchen opened the week the siding was punched.

Scope

  1. 01640 square feet of new floor across two levels
  2. 02New ridge and valley framing married to the original roof
  3. 03Fiber-cement lap that steps into the original reveal
  4. 04Temporary shoring so the kitchen stayed usable for ten days
