Sherman Residence
The Sherman Residence is located in Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. The owners wished to increase the size of their kitchen and covert an existing bedroom to a master suite. The new addition, which did not increase the building's footprint, converted some of the decks' area to enclosed space, resulting in a large eat-in kitchen and a master suite with south facing windows to catch the sun.

The new addition wrapped over the existing house, providing 11 foot ceilings in the master suite and southern light.
