Home Office Room Addition and Exterior Makeover in Danville, CA

Challenge

In light of the lifestyle changes affecting many homeowners today, this Danville family turned to Gayler Design Build with a pressing need for additional space, particularly a dedicated home office. In addition to addressing their functional requirements, the family also desired an exterior renovation to enhance their home’s curb appeal.

To accommodate the desired addition off the side of their home, careful consideration was given to the existing roofline and window placements. The project involved designing a new exterior façade that not only seamlessly integrated with the original structure but also eliminated the tall boxy wall and outdated architectural details. The aim was to create a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing result that enhanced the overall appeal of the home.

Solution

The renovation began with trimming back the roofline and removing a few existing windows. In their place, skylights were installed to introduce ample natural light into the space. To add visual interest and break up the walls, a combination of materials was used. A striated metal roof was incorporated into the design, providing a distinct and contemporary touch. Additionally, the existing white window frames were painted black to align with the newly installed black window frames, and a new roofline was extended to create a covered porch, ensuring a cohesive and modern aesthetic throughout the exterior.
