Part IV in a series that follows our renovation of a Chevy Chase, Maryland home.
While work on the breakfast room addition foundation approached completion, the crew at Pagenstecher GROUP began framing on the second floor dormer expansion.
(refer to "Part III- the owner's suite" of this series to see 2nd floor plans)
The dormer expansion takes full advantage of available second floor space; making way for a new master bath and walk-in closet.
The small gabled roof line breaks the linear form of the rear dormer, and is the joint between old and new.
Before: the master suite had minimal light and view to the rear of the property. The sloped ceilings made what would be considered a sizable bedroom feel compressed and much smaller than it actually was.
A new picture window brings in much needed daylight while improving views to the heavily treed rear yard. A raised flat ceiling returns the bedroom to its appropriate scale, giving an expansive new feeling.
Continue following Pagenstecher GROUP as work progresses on this Chevy Chase, Maryland home.
