Sun & Dining Addition

Project Profile:

Role: Conceptual Design, SD, DD, Construction Documents

Tools: Sketchup, Layout, Enscape, Vray, Lightroom, Photoshop

Challenge: Constructability, Budget

Project Scope:

Design and document a 295 sf sun and dining room addition to the front façade of an existing single family residence. A vaulted ceiling, skylights, large windows, enlarged interior wall opening, and shake siding are desired.

Project Attribution:

All analysis, design, modeling, documentation and renders by Matt Flamm. Legal

Zoning & Code Analysis:

To ensure the project is in compliance with local and state laws and regulations, site plat drawings, area maps, topographic data, and field measurements are assembled into site and area diagrams, and compared against building code and zoning ordinance documentation.

For this project, setback from the right of way, and the proportion of finished area to yard area are the primary zoning considerations

Design Iterations:

Several exterior design options are explored over the course of the first three design phases:

• The original scope of the project includes a post & beam covered front porch and new dining room. The open-air front porch is changed to a vaulted sun room with skylights to maximize interior conditioned space in subsequent iterations.

• Five versions of the front façade are considered to identify the zones that look best clad in wood shake siding.

• The final version omits horizontal wood trim pieces near the front façade rim joists, and clads the entire dining room in shake siding.
