AI-generated design concept, not a completed project.
$222,000–$352,125 · planning range · 4–8 months




Purpose & footprint
- A single-story house that has just gained a full second story, seen from a front three-quarter exterior angle so the craft story reads clearly: the new upper floor wears the exact same warm greige lap siding, crisp white trim, window proportions, and charcoal architectural shingles as the original ground floor, rooflines and fascia lines resolving into one coherent two-story composition with no visible break between old and new, upstairs windows aligned over the downstairs windows, a matched gable and a continuous soffit tying the levels together, mature front-yard live oaks and a tidy bermuda lawn grounding the home, soft late-afternoon light raking across the siding to show the flush, seamless join.
- Concept dimensions only; exact room dimensions and clearances are not yet measured.
