ABOVE: Matt and Becca Muller with daughters, Molly and Cora, and their French bulldog Otto in the girls' playroom. BELOW: A view of the Mullers' backyard shows the previous home addition. Wouldn't a standard, ground-level home addition have been more feasible? Not according to Gauldin. "They already have one addition that was done a few decades ago," he says. "Finishing the attic was the least expensive way to get the additional square footage they needed in the place they needed." Inside...and outside Since the home was built in the 1940s, TBS had to special order siding to match what was already on the house. They re-roofed the entire home with shingles and applied a metal roof on the dormer. The previous room addition, added out the back of the house, includes a flat roof that is under the attic dormer. In the future, the Mullers hope to construct a deck accessible from the attic to this rooftop, creating yet another space for this family to grow into and enjoy.
