# Bright Kitchen Addition

Location

Lambertville, NJ

Scope

Addition, Heritage, Kitchen

An addition that respects a Mansard-roofed heritage house without pretending to be part of it.

This Lambertville addition had to be sympathetic to the heritage character of the house. The original structure has a Mansard roof with highly decorative cornices and beautiful dormers.

Our addition echoes those Mansard pitches and dormers with simpler, modern trim. That follows the heritage principle of designing in sympathy with the historic building without fooling anyone into thinking the new part is original. Inside, the Mansard roofline above the upper cabinets creates an interesting soffit.
