Residential Addition & Renovation, Lexington, MA. The owners of this 1880’s “village colonial” wanted to expand and renew it, and address its limitations.  A range of design options was explored within the constraints of lot size and budget, and a zoning variance was obtained for an addition to the rear. The work included removing an older addition at the rear of the house and incorporating that volume in the new 2-1/2-story addition.  The addition features a new kitchen and family room that offers a more open and expansive living space while respecting the scale and character of the existing house.  Also included in the scope of work was a new master bath and dressing room on the second floor, a new “treetop” sewing room on the third floor, new finishes and lighting throughout the house, new windows, HVAC, roofing, and siding.
