A Timeless Addition

When a home has stood for over a hundred years, it carries more than walls and windows—it carries stories. Every weathered beam, every creak in the floor, and every patinaed brick is part of its soul. So, when it comes to adding something new, the challenge is clear: how do you enhance without overshadowing? How do you create a space that feels both fresh and timeless?

That was the vision for this century home’s newest feature—a stunning sunroom designed to bring light, warmth, and modern comfort, all while respecting the character of the original home.

The beauty of a sunroom lies in its ability to be a bridge: between indoors and outdoors, between winter’s chill and summer’s warmth, between the history we treasure and the modern comforts we crave. Here, sunlight pours in from all the glass and skylights, casting a golden glow.

Even in the coldest months, the room stays warm thanks to discreet in-floor heating, making it a year-round retreat for morning coffee, reading, or gathering with family.
