This Auburn home had a detached office which required the homeowners to go outside of their home for access. The home also lacked a space for the couple to relax and entertain. An addition was proposed to connect the house to the office space and also add a large family room for entertaining, a bathroom and a deck. Careful attention was paid to the new addition’s rooflines and foundation height in order to seamlessly tie the main house and the detached office together. Because the homeowners are avid billiard players, they wanted a space with enough room for a pool table but also enough space to entertain large groups. A large deck, accessible directly from the getaway room was added to create outdoor entertaining space. Stairs were added to the deck allowing access to the swim spa. A door was added at one end of the main interior entertaining space to separate the office space. Sound-deadening insulation was added to the existing office providing the homeowner with a space to quietly practice their guitar. A new bathroom was also added. Sockeye Homes and project designer Candace Nordquist brought the whole space together to provide the homeowners exactly what the were looking for.
