Project Goal:
The Tuve Residence had a detached single garage with a long driveway. The
steep slope hampered access to the home and made the task of
maintaining the yard challenging. Interaction with neighbors was difficult as
the porch was located far from the street. Inside the house
there was insufficient kitchen and family room space and the appearance at
the back of the house was unattractive.
|
Outcome:
The single garage was replaced with an attached double garage and a
short driveway. Creating a deck on the roof of the garage
allows easy interaction with neighbors near the sidewalk allows easy interaction with neighbors. Use of retaining walls and terraced steps makes the slopes
more gentle to negotiate and easier to maintain. A new kitchen and
family room was added at the back of the house, along with terracing
of the backyard to create sitting and gardening areas.
