Conceptual Design for Ghost House Addition

Below is our proposal for a new addition. The owners, Mark and Jenny Johnson, wanted us to propose a way to both preserve the historical house and identify a way to integrate new construction on the site. The original house is four rooms: 2 downstairs living spaces and 2 upstairs bedrooms. The kitchen and bathroom were housed in later additions. As the house will be returned to its original structure- the south wing of the house is too far gone to save- we have proposed a new addition to house modern systems. We will not introduce any HVAC or plumbing to the original house. The proposal for the addition retains a memory of the south wing through a roof which stretches across the footprint of the building. The addition is a discrete object under the roof. In the upcoming weeks we will be refining design for the new addition to be constructed at a later date.
