- Setting
- Cedar Bend, a fictional community
Cedar Bend keeps the existing house and replaces a closed-in porch with a kitchen wing. The comparison on this page uses the same outline twice: once while the wing is still studs and rafters, and once with cladding, windows, and a door.
The work in the concept is specific. Open the end wall of the house, build the new wing, and make the joint between old and new readable rather than disguised. The original gable stays in both drawings.
No one lived here. The pair of plates is a demonstration of how a renovation can be shown without a testimonial.
