Newark is the type of city that can be characterized by old-fashioned areas, narrowly spaced residential streets and houses that are inhabited by people on a daily basis. In areas along Forest Hill and Weequahic as well as residential blocks in areas near Branch Brook Park and University Heights, property owners usually seek methods of acquiring space without leaving their area. As there is little to no choice of expansion, upwards building is a feasible way to expand households.
The climate of Newark has hot, humid summers, much precipitation, and chilly winters with changes in temperatures. These conditions affect the heat retention of upper floors and the airflow. The Newark second story additions should be designed keeping the performance of insulation, strategy of ventilation, and the resistance of materials, such that the additions are comfortable and effective all year around.
Custom Design Second Story Additions
All second story additions are supposed to be designed around the existing home and not obliged to a preset design. In Newark, where houses are different in terms of age, structure and architecture, customization is mandatory. Personalized design style will serve to make the new level fit structurally as well as aesthetically.
Design Planning Based on Existing Home Layout
Every project is initiated by taking a closer view of the existing footprint of the house, the space layout and roof design. This gives the second story the chance to conform to the existence. Considered planning allows preventing clumsy layouts and facilitates the flow across levels.
Exterior Design That Respects Neighborhood Character
Historic and traditional houses are also a characteristic of the neighborhoods in Newark. The design decisions like the rooflines, siding, and windows are also chosen in a way that it complements the nearby buildings. This will assist the addition to blend as opposed to appearing unnaturally.
Interior Layouts Focused on Comfort and Use
Interior design will be designed in a manner that helps in everyday living not an additional space. The location of the rooms, ceiling height and access points are strategized to make the second story comfortable, practical and convenient in terms of usage during the day.

Expand Up Without Sacrificing Style
Increasing vertically must reinforce the appearance of the home and not break it. Our crew greatly emphasizes on the continuity of the architecture such that the second story blends in with the original building. Great attention is paid to the proportion, alignment, and design details to feel that the new level is purposeful and planned.
- Rooflines were made to be in harmony and the right proportion throughout the home.
- Outside materials chosen to be in harmony with pre-existing finishes and textures.
- Arrangement of the windows so as to accommodate symmetry and natural light.
- Interior transits are made to facilitate ease of movement between levels.
All of these design elements are combined to achieve a unified appearance, all over the house. The second story addition is also well balanced and does not interfere with the original style of the property but supplements it.
Second Story Additions That Improve Daily Living
When adding a second story, it is not only about the square feet but also enhancing the way the house is operated on a daily basis. Another way of eliminating crowding and enhancing circulation in the house is to add more bedrooms, work areas, or other social spaces.
We design our team plans in a way that is comfortable, natural light and easy enough to move around. The ceiling height and ventilation is well taken into account to avoid the accumulation of heat, particularly during the warmer seasons in Newark. What is created is a second level which adds value to every day living as opposed to just providing space.
