THE MODERN RESIDENCE
BELOW: The rear addition to the architect's own 1950 mid-century modern house, designed by Charles Goodman, is set half a level up the natural slope of the
site and is separated from the existing house by a courtyard. We wanted to utilize the same basic tenets of Goodman's architecture, including large expanses of
glass, exposed structural elements, and an indoor-outdoor relationship. The new structure includes a den, office, and kids' hangout space with two full bathrooms
and a laundry room. Overall, this "Dual Modern" house is intended to operate for a family with a young child, with flow between spaces and sliding walls that
allow for future flexibility and change of use.

FACING PAGE TOP: Two shed-roofed volumes flank a central walkway that connects the new addition to the existing house; the walkway serves as a gallery for
art display on the lower level and widens to a seating area on the upper level. A "landscape wall" defines this space from the outside.
