Rear Addition Design

Rear Addition Design in Farmington Hills, MI

Rear additions are one of the most powerful ways to expand a small 1930–1960 home

But only when the proportions, rooflines, and structural connections are planned correctly. We specialize in rear expansions that look original to the home and unlock modern functionality without erasing historic charm.

What This Service Includes

• Massing options for one-story and two-story additions

• Roofline alignment and pitch matching

• Window placements that preserve symmetry

• Kitchen, dining, and family-room layout options

• Structural feasibility considerations

• Exterior material and trim alignment

• 3D visuals of your updated rear façade

Why It Matters for 1930–1960 Homes

These homes weren’t built with open-concept rear layouts, meaning additions require careful planning to avoid structural surprises and mismatched geometry.

Common Mistakes

• Additions that look like “boxes”

• Rooflines that don’t tie in correctly

• Misaligned windows

• Overbuilding for the neighborhood

• Poor transitions into existing spaces
