Matthews, NC, 2024 — Addition
480 square feet you cannot tell is new
A rear addition matched to the original roofline, window rhythm and floor height so the join reads as original construction.
Before
After

Matching the floor height meant a stepped foundation and a roof tie-in at an awkward pitch. That work is invisible in the finished room, which is the point.
