Our client's goal was to create a timeless house that fit the Traditional character of the neighborhood. They were also keenly interested in a sustainable residence with a focus on air quality and convenient living without sacrificing comfort or elegance. Natural light was also very important to our clients, so the home is centered around a naturally-lit stairwell and second floor sky-lit gallery. Both living floors are arranged to focus on these light-filled spaces. The large city parcel also assured that all rooms are amply illuminated. The buildings style and orientation was created to be a good neighbor. Many adjacent homes have front porches with Traditional details, while others are more Contemporary. This home sought to be compatible with both.
