Second floor - back of house

Our home is a cape cod style.  On the second floor the finished rooms were located just in the middle of the floor where the ceilings were tallest.  This left the other areas as attic space.

As part of our home addition and remodeling project we are taking advantage of these spaces by making half of the second floor to have full height walls.  

We will be adding a bathroom and bedroom in the back.  In the front of the house it will be an open space for the kids to use as a study or hang out area.
