Read MoreWe recently completed an addition for our clients, John and Amy, a professional couple with young children living in the Blooming Meadows neighborhood in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.
Their home featured three bedrooms on the second floor. The existing master bedroom was outdated and impractical for modern living, and with three young children, two needed to share one of the two remaining bedrooms, and all three kids shared the second-floor bathroom. Another problem the family needed addressed was that John needed a private home office, and the one they currently had was a shared space that did not work well for his job.
Let's take a look at our creative solution for this young family!
John and Amy had already decided that a second master suite addition was the best approach to solve their problems and gain the extra space they needed. After meeting with Brian, they engaged our design team and process to help them find the perfect solution.
When it came to the master suite addition design, the large footprint over the garage provided plenty of space for a master bedroom suite and a home office on the second floor. The challenge was seamlessly integrating the addition into their existing home. We had recently completed another second-story addition, and using what we learned from that project, we designed a perfectly seamless addition to their home!
Our team started working on a design that would work for the couple. After meeting with the couple, several design iterations, and a few different layouts, John and Amy signed off on the perfect master suite addition to meet their needs, style, and lifestyle. The master suite incorporates a large, bright bedroom space, an open-concept closet, and a space-saving pocket door closing off the master bedroom.
Our master suite addition design placed a compact home office right next to the master bedroom, giving John his perfect private home office. Thanks to the large footprint of the space, the couple still had plenty of room to create a spacious master suite, which includes a stylish en suite bathroom.
One of the major elements on John and Amy's wish list was a private bathroom space just for them. They wanted plenty of space to get ready in the morning, away from the kids, and we delivered! The bathroom features a handcrafted Amish custom double vanity with a tower cabinet in alder wood, stained Carbon Gray. The contrasting Linnstone Quartz Calcutta pattern countertop brightens the space and ties in visually with the elegant tile work in the spacious walk-in shower. We added custom alder wood framed mirrors stained in the same Carbon Gray as the cabinets to complete the vanity. Over each of the mirrors, we installed Quoizel 2 light vanity fixtures to provide plenty of warm light.

In the shower, the 21st Century Tile 12x24 floor-to-ceiling tiles in Tivoli Silver give the room a bright and modern feel, and the low entry shower makes entering the shower safe and easy for the couple. We included a helpful niche in the shower for shampoo and other toiletries and, for contrast, used a beautiful hexagon mosaic accent tile. The glass doors give the space an open feel, making it bright and inviting. The Arbor Hills luxury vinyl plank flooring in timber adds a warm feel, giving the room a natural look with the benefit of waterproof LVP.
The final result of this second-floor master suite addition is a home that fits John, Amy, and the kid's needs and lifestyle perfectly. John now has the perfect private office space. Since John and Amy now have their private master suite, and each of the kids has their own bedroom giving them their own space to grow as they grow, their home is more comfortable and functional. And on the exterior, you can't even tell there's been an addition!
