Greenway Modular
Rather than replicate the most common approaches to
home additions in Northern Virginia – Pop-Up, Hunchback, Straight Back and
Tear Down – we designed a proposed solution that actually stay true to the
scale and context of the existing structure. Greenway Modular proposes a prefabricated addition to an existing 1,250 sq ft Cape Cod home in Falls Church, Virginia. Our strategy straddles the line between Straight Back and Detached while
maintaining the existing home’s footprint and respecting the scale of the
neighboring houses.
Manufactured off site, each module measures approximately
300 sf each. The first floor consists of a dining room and flexible space
for office use and a guest bedroom. The second-floor module consists of a
master bedroom suite, with a bathroom and custom, built-in storage. Other
design features include galvanized steel details throughout, lap siding with
mitered corners, multi-wall polycarbonate guard rails, a perforated operable shade system, and
skylights capturing soft northern light.
