Craig and Mandy loved their unique home in Oro Valley, but with a toddler and another baby on the way, the two-bedroom layout was bursting at the seams. They needed an expansion that would give their growing family privacy and breathing room without sacrificing the character of their house.
The new brick and siding were carefully sourced to match the existing structure, while a new 4-foot overhang adds a porch-like feel that blends perfectly with the original roofline.
We painstakingly researched and applied a specific stain to the new flooring, ensuring the transition from the old house to the new addition is visually invisible.
Designed for siblings to share, this seven-foot-wide bathroom features durable penny tile and a roomy walk-in shower that makes bathing time easier for everyone.
The new bedrooms feature large windows with deep sills to match the home’s original style, capturing east-facing views and flooding the space with natural light.
We started by analyzing the topography and strict 35-foot setbacks shown in this site plan. Navigating these complex city and HOA approvals was critical to finding the exact legal boundaries where we could maximize the addition’s footprint.
To ensure the addition didn’t look “tacked on,” we designed these elevations to perfectly match the existing rooflines and brickwork. We constructed this exterior shell first, allowing us to do the heavy lifting while keeping the family’s daily living space dust-free inside.
For the new kids’ bathroom, we selected durable hexagonal floor tiles and a warm walnut vanity with bronze fixtures. These finishes were chosen to be robust enough for growing children while maintaining a timeless look that flows naturally with the rest of the home.
