A Mother-Daughter suite addition to an existing ranch home in Boyertown, PA with the primary design goal to create an addition that feels like a separate home. The project was designed independently of the existing residence, connected to allow easy interior circulation between the aging parents and adult child’s spaces. Budget constraints and zoning limitations excluded expanding the building footprint on the site. Our vertical addition addressed this concern.
To create the effect of a distinct home, we designed a Welcoming Room entrance and elevated deck at the rear of the building. A stairway following the vaulted ceiling of the 1st-floor addition leads to a FULL second-floor, 2-bedroom, 1-bath dwelling complete with a full kitchen and laundry.
