Francisca Alonso enlarged the foyer of her McLean home, put in a porch and enhanced the curb appeal, all by adding just a 60-square-foot bump out.

The once traditional colonial now has a craftsman-style facade and a grander entrance. “Now we have a covered porch to enjoy, a larger foyer, and great views of the front yard and landscaping,” said Alonso, co-owner of AV Architects and Builders. “Everyone loves it.”
