L
Size: 2,400 sf (4 bed, 2 bath)
Construction: Mar 06 - Sep 06
Large, grandma shed is a
renovation completed in 2006
with the existing cedar shingle
siding. With Medium sold, we
were able to take out a second
mortgage on Small house,
allowing us to begin the
renovation of Large. The roof
over the balcony of Large is
conspicuously missing, a trick
employed to take away some of
the total floor-area ratio, but
makes for a nice place to hang
out on a starry night. The
program was flipped, placing
the four bedrooms on the first
floor, saving the second story for
the kitchen, family, and living
room. The renovations also
called for eliminating the attic
and knocking down the interior
walls, thereby creating a more
light-filled and flexible space. To
keep on budget, we used
recycled wood from Small to
build the closets and old joists
found in the basement to
construct the stairs.
