West Cedar Street - Alexandria, VA
Summary
The existing 1000 sf ground floor area of the 4 square home was constricting the needs of the family of 4. Also, the second floor bedrooms proved antiquated for their needs.
The project consisted of a new 500 sf ground floor family room and kitchen addition (with a full basement), a 500 square foot porch extension with screened-in section, and interior renovations to the second floor including a master bedroom and bathroom.
The goal
Basement: Reorganization of the MEP systems in the existing basement to maximize height and usability, new bathroom, new full basement extension under new addition
Ground Floor: New single space extra high family room extension (kitchen, breakfast area, and tv area), porch extension with screened-in section, new side yard entrance powder room, and butler’s pantry
Second Floor: Reconfiguration of existing layout for new master bedroom, master bathroom, and access to terrace deck above new addition
Attic Space: MEP extensions for future bathroom and bedroom layout reconfiguration
Garage: MEP system extension for future ADU unit
