Challenge: Create an energy efficient home for a dynamic, modern, blended family with children, elderly grandparents, exchange students, and extended family members within a 1920s, 1.5 story house while respecting the scale and character of the neighborhood.
Response: Attach new, modern forms that contain new, modern living functions to preserve the scale, materiality, and form of the original house.
Design: A new stairwell structure functions as a collector and distributor of radiant heat and allows for aging in place, via accessibility from the back of the house. A small vertical cut accommodates a home office and library. A new main entry structure contains a mudroom. And a full width, second story box creates a master suite. All of these allow for the existing home to reorganize and become a public gathering space on the main level, an expanded private space on the lower level, and a luxurious retreat for the home owner, on the upper level.
Result: The home went from two bedrooms, one bathroom and 900 square feet to four bedrooms, three bathrooms and 2,000 square feet while lowering monthly energy and maintenance costs and preserving the form and scale of the original home’s street presence.
