        "text": "A bump-out addition extends an exterior wall by a few feet without a full-depth basement foundation, while a full kitchen addition builds out an entirely new room footprint on a dedicated foundation. A bump-out is an efficient choice if you only need an extra two to four feet to fit a center island, add a row of floor-to-ceiling cabinets, or widen a cramped cooking zone. However, if your goal is an open-concept great room, a dedicated casual dining nook, or a secondary prep kitchen and walk-in pantry, a full home addition provides the necessary structural volume and layout flexibility.",
