Spectacle Ridge
House

The clients for this project returned to GOA for an addition to their house, built by the office nearly 20 years ago. Working from home during the pandemic prompted our clients’ desire to add dedicated office space to the house. They also wanted additional living space to meet the needs of visiting children and grandchildren. The addition is integrated into the house’s existing planning and circulation, utilizing the footprint of the garage’s flat roof to provide a new guest suite and office space on the second floor. Though most of the rooms in the house look north to a lake through the woods, the addition is orientated to project over a nearby ledge, bringing into focus a seldom experienced part of the surrounding woods.
