Genova Residence Chevy Chase Maryland		A two story addition contains two bedrooms and bath on the upper level, and family room and kitchen on the lower level. The size of the addition was restricted by zoning regulations To give the impression of larger rooms, the kitchen and family room are designed as one space. Separation is provided by a partial height wall and floor level change. The resulting higher ceiling also increased the perceived room size. A window seating alcove flanked by two closets substitutes as a bay window seat without sacrificing floor area.
