Farmingham House
The homeowner planned to expand his 1950s bungalow in a leafy neighborhood to accommodate his growing family. Sadly, a parent was diagnosed with early-onset dementia during the process, so plans evolved. The main house grew by half a story, adding a big family kitchen, a living space with soaring ceilings and a cozy fireplace, and a master bedroom with a treehouse vibe. The same aesthetic carries through the in-law suite created above the garage, providing elegance and privacy while enabling shared care.
