A New Extension Adds A Home Office And Bedroom To This Miami Bungalow

July 31, 2024

A new home extension includes a private primary bedroom and studio apart from the main residence.

Upstairs Studio Architecture has shared photos of a 900 sqft addition in South Miami, Florida, for owners who were looking for a little extra room in their traditional home, that was open to the outdoors, and allowed for a private primary bedroom and studio apart from the main residence.

The existing house was a traditional single-story home, painted white. The design idea was to provide contrast to the existing home by making the addition a modern metal black house. The front porch, originally with traditional columns was replaced with oxidized steel columns to match the addition.
