Medford Addition
Date

Role
Project Manager, Designer, and Technical Drafter at Joe the Architect (JTA)
Location
Medford Massachusetts
Project type
Single family home addition
The Challenge: A growing family in Medford, MA needed to expand their two-story home to better support their daily routines and long-term needs. The existing layout lacked adequate storage, a proper mudroom for busy family life, and a functional connection between the garage and main living areas.
The Solution: We designed a thoughtful 23' x 28'-6" addition that transforms how the family moves through and uses their home. The key design moves include a well-appointed mudroom with custom storage cubbies and coat hooks, an expanded kitchen with a 3-seat peninsula and walk-in pantry, and a new garage that provides both parking and utility space.
The addition creates a logical sequence from garage to mudroom to kitchen, with each space designed for maximum functionality. On the second floor, we added a dedicated laundry room with folding counter and storage, plus a small office nook within the primary suite.
Partial Project Scope:
- Complete home addition with new garage, mudroom, kitchen expansion, and second-floor laundry
- Custom millwork including mudroom storage system and kitchen cabinetry
- Structural coordination for open kitchen layout
- Full architectural design from concept through construction documentation
The Result: A seamless addition that enhances daily family life through improved organization, storage, and flow. The new spaces create a natural progression from arrival to living areas while providing dedicated zones for the practical aspects of family life.
