A large
multi-apartment residence was being used sparingly by a family that had reduced
over time. Living rooms had been converted into gyms and the 6 spare bedrooms
and a huge, dark basement were used as storage space.The challenge
to transform the apartments into a single home meant completely rethinking the
spatial disposition and organization. A large formal living room was created in
the basement and a sunken court was added for natural light and external
access. The upper floors were converted into luxurious bedrooms and a large
formal dining area and living room replaced the conventional living room on the
ground floor. Skylights brought in natural light and open courts were created
throughout the house to void out open space for daylight.The exterior
was littered with windows, some of which were blocked to keep out the street
noise. The crumbling stone façade was replaced with reflective, clean white
grit that would keep the house cool and give it a clean aesthetic. With light
from above and the feeling of a home, this residence was renewed for the next
generation of the family.
