For this existing cottage in Deep Creek, Maryland, we recladded the entire exterior, as well as a second-floor addition and reconfigured the first floor. For this project, the clients wanted to use as much of the existing cottage, as possible, but that structure was limited. Our design opened the first floor while relocating one set of stairs, reconfiguring a second stair, and taking away interior walls. We also created a double-story space above the new dining and sitting areas and designed a second floor additional to include two bedrooms.
