ARCHITECTURAL ATTIC ADDITION IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA

Project Description
Thomas Custom Builders worked with our homeowners in Alexandra, Virginia to build a second story master suite addition. Incorporating unfinished attic space, we were able to add architectural interest to both the interior and exterior of the project. A great deal of the design credit goes to our clients that ultimately placed their vision all across their home! In the master bedroom we designed the roofline to allow for a vaulted ceiling, making the room feel open and airy. An electric fireplace provides ambiance as well as warmth during the winter months. The three, large windows supply plenty of daylight and offer unobstructed views of the backyard. Although space was limited, we were able to provide style and function in the master bathroom. The custom espresso brown vanity with dual sinks, drawers and lower shelf gives the furniture look our clients were seeking. Wall sconces, recessed lighting and two awning windows provide an abundance of light. The oversized shower with ocean blue tiles complete the look. The design also included a spacious walk-in closet. Custom built-ins and ledges provide ample storage and the closet can be accessed directly from the bedroom or the bathroom. The cantilevered area on the front of the house created a small alcove for a second laundry room for the family. The master suite is accessed by a new beautiful staircase from the existing first floor living room, which we also updated with new doors and millwork. Lastly, we finished the exterior of the addition with new vinyl siding to match the homes existing wood siding. We also added a side porch and flagstone patio with red brick border. Your attic can be a treasure trove of unused space. Tucked away from the rest of the house, they can provide a birds eye view of the outside world.
