A young, Rancho Conejo (Newbury Park) family sought to enlarge their living space with the addition of a 400sf game room/media room, and were willing to give up some limited patio space to do so.  We kept the west side of the patio & mature trees for afternoon entertainment under filtered sunlight.  The new game room addition adjoined the kitchen with a wide opening, essentially doubling the size of the existing kitchen/breakfast space.  The premier ridge skylight over the pool table enlivens the game room with diffuse daylight throughout the day and features ambient evening lighting.  The favored existing bay window was simply relocated to the new south wall.  The east wall is composed of a built-in entertainment center punctuated with accent windows.  A new pantry storage closet is tucked into the NE corner.
