Pacific Beach San Diego
Bumping out three sections of the second storey allowed significant gains in floor space above the ground floor footprint.
This allowed us to maximize the storage space and keep rooms uncluttered.
The basic concept was to push the upper floor to the limits of the property setbacks, without rebuilding all the ground floor walls and foundations.
Ipe was used as an accent over a base of Densglass and Tyvek house wrap.

The original start point.

Pushing to the limits of City planing requirements, we cantilevered the bedroom out past the garage. And the old exterior wall becomes the back of the new room.

Framing the walls. The blue tarp is covering the huge hole where the bump out closet will be located.

Huge holes were knocked through,

And cantilevered "bump outs" framed.

To house the closet space without decreasing the floor space.
