The homeowners of this Myers Park home approached this project with the thought that it should be a quiet addition, have an appropriate scale and use the same architectural language as the existing house.  They wanted a more functional family space for their older children and a large kitchen with back entry.  The new family room incorporates the homeowners’ antique wood paneling, existing interior doors and existing hardware.  The new kitchen incorporates antique wood beams and a large, freestanding family table.  All appliances are integrated and hidden from view for clear countertop spaces.  The back entry includes built-ins for a charging station and bench, as well as closets for coats and sports equipment. The bath renovation on the second floor removed an existing closet to include a new alcove tub and other cosmetic upgrades.  In the end, the homeowners have the open living spaces modern life requires, but the historically thoughtful design they desired.
