When Ken and Jane Eberly met with Dancraft, they described their need for a place away from the family's hustle and bustle, yet close enough to stay connected. Their vision was of a sun-filled room, a quiet area that would be linked to the woods outside. The solution to their needs was a sun-filled room addition, built just off the dining nook/ kitchen. This location allowed the room to be nestled into the wooded landscape on the West of their property. The effect of light in the space was one of the main considerations: the western sun would filter through the mature trees, creating a soft dappled light in the room.
