Peter Zimmerman Architects, together with Rittenhouse Builder, is responsible for the renovation and expansion of this 1940s Colonial Revival house located in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. They created a new roofline and a large 3-story addition for a new kitchen, multiple gathering spaces, and a finished basement. Outside, the project team added a new exterior deck and screened-in porch. They further embellished the curb appeal with a flagstone patio, a driveway, and lush landscaping.
The exterior facade was unified by painting it white, transforming previously mixed materials and colors into a clean, cohesive look. Subtle architectural details and refreshed landscaping further elevate the home’s curb appeal. This update creates a more contemporary home designed for a young, active family of six.
