Roof Deck Addition

A top story addition allows for private outdoor space above an existing rowhome on a quiet residential street. The stucco-clad addition is a nod to the rich materiality of the natural brick facade of the original building, adding a vibrant focal point at a new elevation. The bi-level addition creates a double-height space in the home, punctuated by a slender window facing the interior of the block.

The lower story of the addition serves to provide further lounging and storage space to the top floor of the home. Transitioning to a pilot house on the upper story, the addition opens to a private roof deck with stunning views towards Center City.
