| 24' x 40' Second Floor Addition
(960 Additional Square Feet) |
| 
| Description: Add space by adding a second floor. This addition is based on a very common single floor ranch, but it can be easily adapted to any single level home. The new addition will allow you to better utilize the space on the first floor for entertaining and recreation. The new second floor will have plenty of space for three bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and plenty of closets. This add-a-level design allows you to have a dramatic 2 story foyer and a staircase that overlooks the foyer. Construction: The existing roof will be completely removed and a new second floor will be built over the existing house. Some existing walls on the first floor will be reconfigured to allow for a staircase to access the second floor. At the end of the hallway a balcony will allow you to look over into the foyer below. A new gable roof will be added with usable attic space, and a small overhang over the front door will provide protection from the elements when entering the home. |
