Kaufman Residence Addition & Remodeling The Kaufman residence addition was built to provide a three room addition for a college professor , and his wife, a nurse. Their family includes three children, two which are grown and in their 20's and one ten year old still living at home. The addition which added a total of 518 feet to the home brings additional space for entertaining both family and other faculty in the large 18'x18' family room. The ceiling brings the illusion of space reaching up to 20' at its peak and features two skylights. The room steps down and features a working fireplace, and t.v. entertainment unit. The new bath and bedroom are adjacent to the new family room and are provided access through the family room on the raised step platform dividing the entertainment area. The exterior is expressed in light colors, with siding in ivory and wood trusses which are left as natural. The addition has a base of face brick and a curving partial height wall which wraps around and allows a semi-private patio area.
