This sustainable Modern Urban Residence sits on a corner lot with a historic moontower. Keeping the existing frame of the main house, the interior was renovated into an open floor plan. 800 square feet was added by creating a second story with vaulted ceilings to open up the spaces and clerestory windows for added natural lighting. The look transcends to the Accessory Dwelling Unit which has its own yard and functions as an independent unit. The carved out cedar porches and a contrasting color pallets creates a Nordic Modern look with cohesive design.
