At LUMA Build Design, we believe that every home addition should feel like it was always meant to be part of the house. That was exactly the goal for this custom living room addition in Elora, where our clients dreamed of a bright, inviting space to gather as a family and soak in views of the surrounding woods.

This project showcases how thoughtful design and expert craftsmanship can transform the way you live in your home—while also increasing square footage and home value.

Bringing the Outdoors In: A Custom Home Addition That Frames Nature

One of the highlights of this Elora living room addition is the expansive wall of windows, letting in floods of natural light from multiple directions. Set against a peaceful backdrop of mature trees, the layout maximizes views without compromising energy efficiency or comfort.

The vaulted ceiling and exposed beam add volume and visual interest, while the natural wood and stone elements echo the landscape outside. The beam was painted black to tie in to the rest of the aesthetics.

Key Features:

Floor-to-ceiling custom windows
Cathedral ceiling with feature beam
Gas stone fireplace with timber mantel
Wide-plank hardwood Oak floors
Open-concept flow into the rest of the home
