SIZE
1000 sqft - 3000 sqft
An 1800s horse stable is transformed from an empty shell on a neglected alley into a classic shop-house with architect’s storefront studio and living quarters above. The studio is a void set back from the alley by an interstitial zone separating entrances for both work and home. A rolling gate and folding glass wall spanning the width of the old carriage opening enables the interior to open completely to the street and expands the space from alley to garden in warm months for events.
A narrow volume containing stairs and storage frames the interior, creating a buffer to the residence. A floating volume on the second level contains baths and kitchen. Structural reinforcement in the ceiling is accentuated with a series of coves which define the public area. A skylight above the stairs brings light to both levels by means of a translucent box. Much of the historic character of the stable is preserved and highlighted, including exposed heavy timber structure, masonry, and horse tether rings.
The first phase of renovation of this late 1800’s former horse stable, completed in 2011, converted the alley building into a classic Shop House complete with design
studio on the first floor and living quarters on the second floor. The live-work program has now been expanded to live-work-PLAY with a new rear-yard addition. The PLAY HOUSE was completed in 2016 and serves as an expansion of the living quarters to accommodate the family which has grown to include two small children. The rear garden, already completely enclosed and buffered on the rear lot line by the solid three-story brick wall of the city archive building, is the location of a new two-story addition connected to the original building with a glass bridge at the second floor. With this addition, the ‘secret garden’ has become a ‘secret courtyard’ and
is the center for family play and pleasure. Large sliding glass doors allow for seamless flow from the first floor playroom to the garden. Conversion of the playroom use into a guest suite use is facilitated by a rotating murphy bed and shelf wall, as well as an adjacent full bath. The second floor features the children’s bedroom, a full bath, and a mezzanine above. Limited for space and mindful of the mobility needs of grandparents, the two levels have been connected by a small elevator. The addition’s white volume is tapered at the upper level to respond to the scale of the newly defined outdoor space. The clapboard rain screen siding recalls alley buildings from the previous century while proportioned dimensionally to work in tandem with adjacent existing brick walls.
