Cherokee Triangle Residence Addition
The Cherokee Triangle Historic District in Louisville is oneof the most reknowned and respected in the U.S. today. Flanked by several major commercial thoroughfares, the community is centered around Cherokee Park, a Frederick Law Olmstead creation of 1892. This neighbrohood has very strict design guidelines so we had a challenge in front of us as we embarked on this project. The owners approached us with a request to propose an addition and minor renovation work to the existing structure, a fairly typical townhouse dating to roughly 1913. One unique condition that we were afforded was the nature of the property that the owners had acquired. A fire had claimed the house adjacent to the project andthe owners were able to secure the property, giving them two sizeable lots. They requested that we not propose a structure on the adjacent site but that we respect it by affording views from the new addition.The program for the new addition and renovation was fairly straight forward. The owners requested a new kitchen, a new master suite and a large open versatile space for entertaining that was in concert with all the aforementioned elements. We were able to reconfigure the adajcent spaces in the rear of the house to accomodate the smaller programmatic elements and placed the new kitchen, open living space and master bedroom in the new addition. The master bedroom appears as a floating box from the exterior, seperating it as the only added programmatic element on the second floor.
