The existing home is clad with a dark board and batten siding with a shade structure at the entry.

The house site atop the hillside and has no view to the south.

The addition is to the back of the existing home and will project over the slope. The access to the site is limited so the foundations were designed to allow for hand digging only, making the project feasable. This image shows the location of the new foundations for this ambitious project.

The concrete columns have been placed and the framing for the deck and the addition are underway.
