Stretch it out. Again, if the site is large enough try stretching the house out across the property. The advantage of this is to make what could be quite large and massive into a series of small and connected pavilions. by Glenn...

Sometimes you'll want to really express yourself and let the whole world know. No backyard addition will do. Make a Big statement. Something clearly visible from the street announcing that this is your house lived in by 21st-century folks.

Filled with light and space, an addition can let you live outdoors all year round. Blue & white furnishings. Lights...drop & indirect.
Note windows & giant mantle/fireplace. Colors.
