We were commissioned to design a new residence in a predominantly residential neighborhood with a rich architectural history. We integrated materials and constructive elements to pay homage to the historic character of the surrounding homes. We incorporated contemporary elements, such as the wide roof projections and extensive use of glazing surfaces. The central piece of this design is a sinuous staircase which connects the three lower levels. This layout allows the user plenty of flexibility to accommodate modern family living while keeping privacy and functionality as priorities. With the foyer and formal dining located on the front and the implementation of a side family entry into a discrete mudroom, this layout allows the kitchen, family dining, and living room to be seamlessly connected to the private yard
