The challenge was to take a mid-19th century schoolhouse with Greek Revival architecture and add a 21st century sunroom modeled after the original structure. The details on the new sunroom integrate but do not detract from the elements of the original.

Cedarville Cedarville writes: You really did a wonderful job here, particularly in placing the original house as the most important element of the design rather than the addition. So many times I see an addition as ‘taking over” the original home, rather than complementing it.
