We are moving right along finishing this rambler. The exterior is now painted and the owners are soon to move in. With the unique forms and colors of the various additions, the home has become something for discussion in the neighborhood! Should additions (or new houses for that matter) be exactly what the original house was like (or what the neighborhood is like) in terms of its design or could it be different? Why must something new be the same as something old, especially if that old is not particularly exciting? As long as it works in terms of function, can’t we have a little fun with the building? Can’t it be a piece of art? Or perhaps a reflection of the values and interests of the owner?
