Paying homage to the original architect, while also being playful and practical for the new owners, this design respects each past expansion, its hand-drawn detailing, and embraces the home’s mid-century essence. The new light-filled living space cohesively connects to the kitchen and dining areas through well-proportioned internal openings and a seamless flow of materiality and detailing. The new stand-alone studio aligns planning considerations with the clients’ needs and provides a contemporary progression, daring to be slightly different. The outcome is a thoughtful alteration that has created appealing and usable new spaces, adding the next modern chapter in a cohesive and respectful way.
