This couple, parents of an infant and with another child on the way, were living in a 1,000-square-foot house in Austin, Texas, that was bursting at the seams. During the early stages of an addition design, architect Sharon George walked through the house with them to find out what was working and what wasn’t.
“When we first met, they didn’t have a screened-in porch on their wish list, but when I proposed it, they loved the idea,” George says. The new indoor-outdoor protected space provides a breeze, has a focal point fireplace and serves as a transitional space between the house and the patio.
