Residential Addition & Renovation, Westwood, MA. The owners of this 1950’s ranch wanted to enlarge their home, enhancing its warmth and hospitality, while respecting its character.  They also wanted to fix features that didn’t work and add some that were missing, so that they could settle in here for the future.  Needed improvements included:  reconfiguring the front entry and improving the circulation patterns to and through the house, enlarging the master bedroom and bathroom, expanding the garage to house 2 cars and a workbench, adding a bay window and window seat in the living room, improving attic storage and ventilation, and providing for storage of garden tools and supplies.  A range of design schemes was considered in relation to current and future needs, budget, and aesthetic considerations. The scheme favoring first floor living space was selected and the design evolved to respond to each priority.
