A 400 sq ft family room addition to a mid-century ranch home in Waukesha. Designed with large windows, vaulted ceiling, and seamless connection to the existing home.
This growing family had outgrown their ranch home’s compact living room. Rather than move, they chose to add a generous family room that connects to their existing kitchen and opens to the backyard.
Connecting a new addition to a 1960s ranch requires careful attention to foundations, roof transitions, and structural loads. The design uses a continuous ridge detail that ties the new roof seamlessly into the existing structure, and the foundation was engineered to match the original’s frost depth and bearing capacity.
Whether you're planning a custom home, a remodel, or an addition — I'd love to hear about your vision.
