Mary and Gary came to us after working with two other architects,
frustrated with designs that gave them but a mere expansion of their
1960’s ranch house. What we discovered in our conversations, was that
they really wanted a new house, but were concerned that tearing down and
starting from scratch would be out of their budget.
EA completely re-imagined the house in a modern design vocabulary, while
retaining much of the existing plan. The living/dining room and den
were expanded both up and out to the expansive yard, and in the master
bedroom suite, we added a new bathroom and closet, and a private reading
room for Mary’s escape on football Sundays. Mary loves the curved
concrete room as she looks out onto her yard from her Saarinen Womb
Chair! An Italian-designed kitchen, single-slab granite entry foyer,
15-foot folding door and an EA-designed Mondrian-esque, custom front
door are some of the details that Mary enjoys, and the new 100-inch
projector screen keeps Gary occupied and content.
