A 20-Foot Slab Extension, Level With the Original Floor
The addition sits on a new concrete slab that extends 20 feet from the existing house and ties into the existing slab. The 20-foot extension required precise elevation measurements and construction planning, so the finished floor of the new rooms matches the height of the original floor.
Matching the floor height is what lets the flooring transition naturally between the old rooms and the new ones.
A New Bathroom on the Existing Sewer Line
On this house, we connected the new bathroom plumbing to the existing sewer line without disturbing the existing slab. The project needed no new sewer connection.
The photos show the plumbing rough-in during framing and the finished shower.
A Vaulted Primary Bedroom With a Matching Roofline
BEC Engineers and Consultants provided the structural engineering, and ATS performed independent third-party inspections during construction. The primary bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and custom built-in shelving.
Outside, we matched the siding to the house and tied the composition shingle roof into the existing roofline. New wraparound gutters and downspouts handle the drainage. We also expanded the rear patio and added new steps and code-compliant safety railings.
A See-Through Fireplace Between the Bedroom and the Bathroom
A 36-inch Empire Tahoe see-through direct vent gas fireplace sits in the wall between the bedroom and the bathroom, set at a raised, floating height. Because it is double-sided, the fire can be seen from either room.
The bathroom has a freestanding soaking tub with a Kingston Brass Concord wall-mounted tub filler, positioned to take advantage of the see-through fireplace. The bathroom also has a dual-sink vanity and a frameless glass shower with Starfire glass. Throughout the suite, pocket doors slide into the walls instead of swinging into the rooms.
