Pecan Addition and Renovation

A relocated 1930’s bungalow on a pastoral country site outside of Baton   Rouge requires a major renovation and an addition. A new master suite,  contemporary in scale, needs to be added; outdated porches need to be  expanded; too small rooms need to be opened up to create views to the  wonderful landscape; and new yards need to be framed by all of the  additions and renovations. Pecan demands surgeon’s precision as it was  already a house that had gone through multiple modifications and  adaptations. Constructed of durable materials and strong bones, this  renovated home developed as walls were torn down, details exposed, and  construction began. Inside space was opened to create grand living  spaces and outside, the multiple forms, both old and new, were designed  to create a harmonious estate. Upon completion, the 1000 s.f. addition  transforms this bungalow into the retreat the busy owners need and the  country holiday/weekend getaway their growing family desires.
