What neighborhood is that house in? Does is it fit in with the other houses? Maybe it's not so bad in the right neighborhood.

I agree that it's a monstrosity. The proportions are out of sync.

I guess everyone's definition of tasteful architecture is different. I'm fine with the 1960's being in the past. I don't think the new result is beautiful, but it's an enhancement, and it makes this house unique. I don't know the house or the block, but if it's like the many other neighborhoods of cookie-cutter split levels, I think it's nice to see unique homes interspersed. Others disagree.

Yuck.

This was a simple, attractive split-level before, and now it's hideous with that showy, "look at me" addition. The end result most certainly does not enhance the quality of the local housing stock.

Michael Bruckwick of Katinas Bruckwick. He did exactly that with our addition -- love it. SO not a box tacked on to the back. And it's beautiful on the inside too.

Looking for a recommendation for an architect in the Bethesda/Chevy Chase area who can design an addition that will blend with the existing house. Hoping to avoid a siding box off the back.
