Dormer Addition + Attic Conversion | Norwood Park, Chicago

An unfinished Cape Cod attic was converted into this master suite, including a sitting area, an office, and plenty of storage space. The master bedroom and sitting area are located under the existing dormers, with original exposed brick walls adding great character. We built two more dormers to match, one for a bathroom and the other for a new staircase which now opens to the first floor. The owners loved the vaulted ceiling, which we heightened by raising low crossbeams. The addition provided a more cost-effective solution than moving for a growing family while allowing them to stay in the home and neighborhood they love.
