Hurley Architects
What can you tell us about this project? : Addition to existing house. Requirement for outdoor patio, kitchen and a fire place is a good enough reason to create a new outdoor entertainment space, but making it in a way that protects from prevailing winds and also looks like it belongs to existing architecture is a bit of a challenge. Replicating the original style is also not an answer, instead the style is created that compliments the original architecture, and advances it with modern learnings and technology. Success is If you look at the project when finished and it feels that this new addition was there from the beginning.
