Colonial Revival First Floor
A transformed experience with 32 square feet
Space Findings
23% of first floor was underutilized with poor sunroom and dining room functionality.
18% – the kitchen – served all mudroom, cooking, dining, and entertaining needs.
Homeowner Priorities
Mudroom space
Ample kitchen for cooking and hosting
Option to close off living room sound
House orientation to large back yard
Constraints
Preservation of yard: no addition on back
Space Improvements
Rethinking zones and incorporating the former sunporch and exterior breezeway enabled:
Mudroom for family of 4, plus guests
Kitchen that seats 7 (from 4)
Dining room for 6-8, integrated into entertaining space
House orientation flipped from street view to backyard
