My house is a typical center hall garrison colonial. The main part of the house is 2-levels. A one level section extends off the side of the main house (containing a 2-car garage and a small family room).
I’m considering adding a second level above the garage and family room section. I’d like to maximize the usable floorspace on the new second level without making the front facade of the house too boxy looking. I’m concerned about haveing the full face of the house a big two level box.
I ultimately plan on hiring an architect, but at this stage I’m looking for ideas and sources of ideas (books, etc.).
Thanks.
