Project type: Single Family Residential

Project status: Under Construction

Project info: This project presents itself as a significant addition to a multi-generational homestead. The client’s parents built the original one story home in the 1960’s and added a two story addition by architect Robert Whitten in the early 1970s. The original home has been enveloped by a lush garden, with a vibrant koi pond at its center. The client wanted to build new spaces that satisfy their contemporary needs and comfort, while maintaining an atmosphere of a spacious tropical oasis with in the city. Today, a thin enclosed “bridge” connects the original home to the new addition, traversing the center of the property with expansive views of the pond and garden. Finally, the new addition turns and looks back toward the original home and the garden with unobstructed living space on the first floor and open screened porches on the second floor.
