22 Glass Billets
Renovations are limited to a 28-foot wide slot through the center of the house. The enclosed, compartmentalized Kitchen, Living, and Dining Room were eliminated. The space was purged to allow light to transverse the full depth of the house. The Kitchen fills with morning light passing through the windows in the Breakfast Alcove. Afternoon sunlight releases the color of glass billets embedded in the west wall. These colors move about the space, reflecting off surfaces and dancing on the floor. The introduction of the glass billets was imagined as a musical illumination, fixed on the wall as implied notes set within an invisible stave.
A paint grip standing seam roof replaced the existing composition shingle roof. The original multi-colored brick was painted a light-grey color.
