This Staten Island home was transformed through a full roof raise that introduced a new upper level, expanded living space, and a more confident architectural identity. The design reshapes the original structure with a steeply pitched roof, crisp stucco volumes, dark vertical siding, stone masonry, and generous glazing, creating a composition that feels contemporary without losing its residential character.

Inside, the added height allows for brighter rooms, improved circulation, and stronger connections between the home’s living spaces and the outdoors. A restrained material palette and carefully integrated terraces, windows, and landscape elements unify old and new, giving the residence the presence of a wholly reconsidered home rather than a simple addition.
