A new second floor and complete renovation is executed with massing and roof surfaces designed to take advantage of the orientation of the site. The new roof provides an opportunity for an abundance of solar collection and dramatic volume ceilings throughout the second floor. This redesigned massing and roof form is complimented by a thoughtful palette of contemporary exterior cladding materials to elevate the modern language of the home and establish a strong presence on the street. The new second floor shifts bedroom spaces upstairs and allows for a fluid configuration of primary living spaces below. The improved layout is anchored by a large existing brick chimney, open riser steel staircase, and a two-story wall of windows that washes the space with natural light and opens the home to the outdoor spaces.
