Having purchased a sizeable 60s ranch home in Marietta, GA, the owners of this property wanted to respond to their growing family by gutting the first-floor public space, including their in-home garage, to allow for a larger mudroom and kitchen that would open onto their existing family room. The addition of a separate detached garage provided space for the additional program requirements on the first floor while giving the owners the opportunity to add more space on the second floor of the garage in the future. In addition to reworking the first-floor interior space, the owners wanted to update the exterior (characterized by low-pitched roofs and deep overhangs) of the classic 60s ranch home. The new front façade is improved by the addition of a sizeable front porch and kitchen garden, which are detailed to disguise the smaller and shorter proportions of the typical 60s ranch with better-scaled columns, lattice panels, and an arbor characterized by classical detailing. The front porch roof pitches were increased, and the eave overhangs were reduced to give the house some visual height without completely removing and raising the existing roof of the house.
