This project is designed to respect the historical integrity of the existing architecture, while updating the house to accommodate the new owner’s spatial requirements and extensive art collection. Along the lengthy one hundred and twenty foot first floor axis, spaces are opened up and now connect physically and visually, providing impactful views through the house. A new stair and bridge is added to the central double height volume. A glass volume is added to the roof with the goal of painting with light the central volume and adjacent dining space.
