SUMMERS HOME

A good-looking 60’s home in the Eastern bays totally untouched since then. The brief was for a much more open living space that flowed North and South for views, privacy and sunshine. We added internal access and a guest suite in the basement allowing a new staircase to provide a vertical juxtaposition with the dominant horizontals of the house.

The post and beam low gable form was exposed on the interior and banks of skylight either side of the ridge beam now flood the living spaces with warmth and glimpses of the surrounding hills.
