Challenge: Remodel the interior into an open plan of inter-connected living spaces. Celebrate the entry sequence and define clear circulation paths between living areas. Add a second-story new master suite accessible from the main living area.
Concepts: The new open-riser stairway was efficiently placed above the existing basement stairs, and is visible from all the public living areas. The second-floor master suite addition follows the original building’s architectural form & scale, and allows for optimal views and outdoor access via multiple windows and a private roof terrace.
Sustainable Strategies: Daylighting; improved insulation; energy-efficient radiant heat. see more
