This addition included both an expansive deck for the warmer months and an enclosed porch for year-round enjoyment. Casement windows with transoms and fixed clerestory windows in the addition gable make for a sunlit enclosed retreat, while the exterior space features a gas fireplace and durable, low-maintenance composite decking.
