The new building had to conform to Architectural Review Commission design guidelines for Hyde Park, and of course to Tampa codes, including new hurricane codes. That involved raising the floor 15" above the old floor.
By raising the roof with 2 dormers and windows, and adding a large window on the garden side, we were able to create a bright workspace, while efficiently compact.
Interesting project -- I would think it would be nice to have a studio/office that one could work out of their own home without actually working in the house itself. Will follow your blog to see the finished project. Nice yard too.
