Virginia Highlands Rear & Side Additions

Enhancing the great outdoors, this Virginia Highlands renovation reaches out from the original house with rear and side additions that pull the garden, light, and air deep into the heart of everyday family life. Reclaimed timber beams, steel-framed windows, and a vaulted ceiling open the kitchen to the surrounding pines, blurring the line between interior rooms and the wooded lot beyond.

A generous central island anchors a cook's kitchen with a Wolf range, farmhouse sink, and honed stone counters, all framed by white subway tile and warm oak floors. Layered industrial pendants, antique furniture, and the family's collected art give the addition a relaxed, lived-in character that feels like it has always belonged to the house.
