When planning an addition, there are many necessary items to consider, such as region, market demand, craftsmanship, style, and materials. The answers to these will determine the return on your investment. Some additions, like a second bathroom, will return most if not all of your investment. Other additions, like adding offices or additional suites, may or may not. The most important consideration is to plan your improvement to align with the other homes in your neighborhood. You can add a full marble bath with gold-plated fixtures in a tile bath neighborhood, but the likelihood of recouping your full investment is unlikely.
The whole point of many additions is to satisfy your need for comfort and beauty. If making your investment back when you sell is not a primary consideration, and you have the time and money to spend, do what satisfies you. There are building codes, but no specific rules for design. If that full marble bath makes you happy, go for it!
A house addition, unlike many remodeling projects, will probably require permits. The assistance of an architect or designer will help you avoid making costly, time-consuming mistakes. Their design skills and specialized training allow them to offer solutions as well as come up with interesting, unusual, and effective materials to save money and time. You will benefit when a pro takes your needs and tailors your new addition to meet your unique requirements.

The forested Green Mts. constitute the dominant physiographic feature of Vermont. They consist of at least four distinct groups, all traversing the state in a generally north-south direction. Largest and most important are the Green Mts. proper, which extend down the center of the state from the Canadian border to the Massachusetts line, rising to Vermont's highest peak, Mt. Mansfield (4,393 ft/1,339 m). The Taconic Mts., occupying the southwestern portion of the state, contain Vermont's important marble deposits. East of the Green Mts. and extending from the Canadian border to somewhat below the middle of the state are the Granite Hills, so called because of their valuable stone. The fourth group, sometimes called the Red Sandrock Hills, extends along the Vermont shore of Lake Champlain. In E Vermont there are also isolated peaks or monadnocks not connected with the principal ranges.
