This infill project is tucked between two houses from different eras. On the left is an original house from the early 1900s, where one of the clients grew up. On the right is a 1980s version of a traditional house. This new house between the two is asymmetrical and symmetrical, to relate to the adjacent architecture while still being quietly modern. Squared-off bay windows, an offset entry, and a suppressed garage create a house that pinwheels around itself in plan and elevation. The interior is practical and almost rustic in its atypical use of standard trim boards. Large windows, simple concrete floors and white painted millwork give every space a fresh ambience.
