After weathering the pandemic together this family of four was ready to . . .  s p r e a d   o u t!  The renovation of their Temescal bungalow included the addition of a second floor that has three bedrooms and two baths.  Mom and dad are at one end and the twin boys are at the other, allowing for a lot of privacy and acoustic separation between parents and kids.  A new stair connects the main level with the upper addition and an existing basement, making access to all three areas convenient and a sculptural statement in the middle of the home.  A single bedroom on the main level functions as a place to host company as well as study, yoga, Zoom-room, etc.  The laundry was moved upstairs, and that allowed the kitchen and the former primary bedroom-turned-family-room to open to the rear yard and a new deck.
