Country residence feeling was underscored and deepened by the small dining room addition in this Italianate villa in River Forest. Several strategic visions were achieved. The kitchen was expanded, remodeled and opened; an informal dining space, with excellent sun exposure and a beautiful view, was also added. The house was made to wrap and integrate with the gorgeous garden. Shaded exterior sitting space was added, as were architectural aspects, enhancing the entire form of the house. Not bad for one tiny addition!
