Historic Addition, Warrenton, VA

The addition was added to the house by using a ‘hyphen’ to minimize its visual impact and to remain subordinate to the historic structure. Other architectural strategies used include: breaking down the mass of the addition into smaller elements, keeping the addition lower and positioned behind the main house, and using similar roof pitches and materials to compliment the historic house.

The style of the addition does not replicate the original house but sympathetically respects its design elements.
