Home Additions & Second-Story Additions in Atlanta

Adding a second story or a rear addition is often the best way to get the space you need without leaving a neighborhood you love. Perspectiva Architects designs additions across metro Atlanta, from intown neighborhoods like Grant Park to Gwinnett, Forsyth and Cherokee counties, and we handle the drawings, permits and coordination that come with them.

Our BIM is fully integrated with AI. We model your existing house first, then design the addition around what is really there, so you can walk through the finished home in 3D before construction starts. Problems get caught on screen, not on site.

What we design

Second-story additions that add bedrooms, baths and family space above an existing home
Rear and side additions: larger kitchens, family rooms and primary suites
Mudrooms, entries and covered porches that change how a house is used every day
Outdoor living additions such as covered decks and pavilions

How an addition works with us

Consultation and site visit. We walk the house with you and talk through goals, budget and timeline.
Existing-conditions model. We build a 3D model of the house as it stands today.
Design in 3D. Floor plans, elevations and renders you can walk through and change before anything is built.
Permit-ready drawings. Code review, zoning research, site plans and city submittals, with responses to reviewer comments until the permit is issued.
Construction support. Site visits, contractor questions and drawing updates through the build.

Designing around an existing house

An addition has to respect what is already there: the structure, the roofline, setbacks and lot coverage, mature trees and the character of the street. Because we start from an accurate model of the existing home, the new rooms connect cleanly to the old ones, and the addition looks like it belongs.
