BELOW: The design begins with the intention of creating a heart of the home, an epicenter from which all activity and interaction spirals outward into the yard flowing
through other smaller, private spaces. Eliminating the overbearing sense of compartmentalization was a high priority and opening the home's potential meant
creating a large airy volume of central living space by extending the kitchen up and out and including floor-to-ceiling windows.
FACING PAGE: The homeowner has said that the simplicity and openness of the design along with the clean views through the home allow for their full use of the
interior and exterior features as a family. This renovation and addition not only took the existing 850-square feet to a more livable 2,025-square-foot home, but also
produced a sustainable home that holds continual interaction as a core value of healthy family living.
