RESIDENTIAL: HISTORIC RENOVATION

PRACTICAL BEAUTY

This is a new four bedroom three and a half half home that was born from the subdivision of a larger urban lot. The house is organized around a grand stair that connects the living spaces with the bedrooms above. When using this stairway one will find themselves always descending or ascending toward daylight.. The grand stair is awash with daylight and open to the living spaces into which it descends. The surrounding homes are predominantly one story ranch style homes following World War Two. We chose to design a one and a half story house to reduce the mass of this design so that it could reside comfortably with it’s baby boomer neighbors.
