Adding Space, Preserving Character.
A well-designed addition doesn’t just extend square footage; it extends the story of a home. Veritas treats every architectural addition as an opportunity to enhance livability without compromising historic character. Whether you’re expanding a kitchen, adding a guest suite, or envisioning an entirely new wing of your home, we approach the project with deep respect for the original architecture and a clear vision for integration. The result is an expanded home that feels as though it’s always been there.
What We Offer
Architectural Additions
Contextual Design Integration
Every addition is tailored to the original structure’s proportions, materials, and architectural language. We work closely with homeowners, architects, and designers to ensure that new spaces match the spirit and scale of the home, never feeling tacked-on or out of place.
Historic Detailing and Materials Matching
We replicate trim profiles, brick coursing, window styles, and other historic elements to create visual continuity. Where needed, we source period-appropriate materials or fabricate custom components in our millwork shop to ensure a flawless match.
Structural Planning and Foundation Work
Additions require more than surface-level alignment. We evaluate structural load paths, integrate modern foundation systems, and ensure the transition from old to new is secure, stable, and enduring.
Interior Flow and Functionality
From improved circulation patterns to capitalizing on natural light, our additions are designed with daily living in mind. We often refine interior layouts to enhance usability, privacy, and comfort without disrupting the original home’s integrity.
Our Approach
We begin by listening: understanding how your family lives, what you value about your current space, and what you need to grow. From there, we develop a thoughtful plan that respects your home’s past while expanding its future. Our team excels at identifying design solutions that preserve character, enhance function, and elevate everyday experience.
From restoring an 1800s farmhouse, to expanding a colonial estate, we approach each project with precision, collaboration, and care. Additions can be deceptively complex, but with Veritas, you gain a partner who sees the whole picture: structure, style, and story.
Why It Matters
A poorly conceived addition can diminish a home’s value or architectural cohesion. Veritas ensures that every expansion enhances your home’s beauty, livability, and legacy. We understand the technical and aesthetic challenges that come with adding to historic and custom homes, and we deliver solutions that are as enduring as they are elegant.
Across Middleburg, Upperville, and the surrounding countryside, our additions stand as quiet testaments to what’s possible when history and modern living are thoughtfully combined.
