How small is too small? One family’s creative solution to growing their space

Scott and Sharonne Trattner wanted more space -- more space than a run-down, 900-square-foot Venice cottage could offer. The solution: Behind their 1920 home now sits a new modern, minimalist white box designed by architect Talbot McLanahan. Together, the two wings of the house -- old and new – now form a 1,600-square-foot family home bursting with color and contemporary style. Take a peek inside and see how the Trattners and McLanahan opened up the old house and linked it to its modern addition, which includes a new master suite, children's bedroom and cozy deck.
