Fredrick Stewart Architecture PLLC 

Location: Hillsborough, NC

This 540sf contemporary addition to a 1913 house is one large room containing a new kitchen and entertainment area. It is designed to strike a dynamic contrast between the two, distinctly different architectural periods in which they were built.  A requirement which drove the design was to protect a significant pecan tree near the corner of the addition; the solution was to support the 30' wide box on a 10' wide concrete base with 10' cantilevers.
