Herndon Master Suite Addition: Structurally Engineered Over-Garage Expansion
Mosaic Build completed this structural home addition in Herndon, VA, building a master suite over an existing garage. Includes vaulted ceilings, seamless hardwood transitions, and a rigorous foundation assessment to ensure safety and smooth permitting
Herndon Project Overview:
Located in Herndon, VA, this project demonstrates the technical precision required for a complex home addition. Mosaic Build expanded the home vertically by constructing a new second floor directly atop the existing two-car garage and family room. This renovation created a spacious, private retreat for the homeowners while strictly adhering to rigorous engineering standards.
Structural Integrity & Permitting
Building over an existing structure requires careful planning. Before construction began, the home underwent a comprehensive structural evaluation. We meticulously assessed the existing foundation to ensure it could safely bear the load of a new second story. These detailed assessments were central to the permitting process, ensuring the project not only met but exceeded local building codes and safety requirements.
The Space: Luxury Master Suite
The new addition houses a stunning master suite defined by vaulted ceilings that maximize volume and natural light. The layout includes a custom walk-in closet and a brand-new full bathroom, turning the new level into a self-contained sanctuary.
Seamless Design & Finishes
- Interior Flow: We installed premium hardwood flooring in the bedroom, expertly transitioning it into the existing second-floor hallway. This created a continuous flow, eliminating any visual break between the old and new sections of the house.
- Exterior Matching: To maintain the home’s curb appeal, the exterior finishes were selected to blend seamlessly with the existing house. The siding and trim match perfectly, making the addition look like an original part of the architecture.
