"Peaked with Interest" by Anne Patterson

When Bill and Edie Dagley grew discontented with the master suite in their San Rafael home, they turned to CWD for a creative solution. CWD moved the wall of the bedroom out five feet, and added an additional two feet for the closet section. The extension of the closet both added interior space and created visual interest outside the house. She added dormer windows and a vaulted ceiling in the bedroom to admit light without sacrificing privacy, and used a skylight to light the bathroom. The final result left both owners thrilled; the article quotes Bill on the height of the ceiling: "It adds a great deal of openness and airiness" and Edie on the redone bathroom and closet: "I love the amount of space in the bathroom and closet . . . I also love the light in there. It's a cheerful place to be anytime of day" (107). visit www.BHG.com
