High St Residence 152

Located in Montclair, this project took advantage of a unique development opportunity on a double-sized lot. By securing a subdivision approval, we were able to design a two-story rear addition for the existing home while creating a brand-new two-story single-family dwelling on the newly established lot. This introduced a contemporary colonial addition to Montclair's streetscape.

Rear Addition

The rear addition for the existing house added 16 feet to its depth, transforming the living spaces on both floors. The expansion allowed for additional bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as a one-car garage equipped with an EV charging station. The first floor was reconfigured into a completely open-concept layout, featuring a spacious kitchen with a walk-in pantry, an airy living and dining area, and ample natural light throughout. In the basement, a large laundry room was added, complete with a custom raised dog washing station.

Second Floor

The redesigned second floor provided a primary suite located at the rear of the home for enhanced privacy. This suite included a walk-in closet, a bathroom with both a shower and tub, and dual vanities. The addition enabled an overall transformation of the house from a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout to a 5-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home.
