Modifications & Additions
With partial ocean and mountain views, this addition features a new bedroom, bath, closet and study on a new 2nd level and a family room on the existing 1st story.
The configuration of walls and fenestration of the existing 1-story house did not provide an opportunity to support the 2nd floor addition without extreme compromise. The design solution employed a steel moment frame built outside of the original structure that supports both the vertical and lateral loads of the new upper floor. This system also provides a framework for floating enclosure walls on the 2nd level that were shaped by criteria other than structural requirements, and therefore did not have to be orthogonal, straight, or plumb.
