room addition
House square footage
A room addition is a construction project that expands a building by adding new living space—a bedroom, bathroom, or family room built onto an existing structure.
Distinguished from renovation or remodeling, which improve existing space, a room addition increases square footage: The room addition doubled their kitchen size.
Also called simply an addition.
