Proposed Second Floor Plan
Originally, a plan was developed to add a second storey,
including a bedroom, double height space with a wood bridge and a roof
garden. This contemporary approach would appeal to an environmentally
conscious, urban individual or couple. (The proposed second storey is
feasible as shown in this plan, subject to augmenting the foundation and
applying for a Building Permit - subject to City approval.)
