House of Ascetic Luxury

Contemporary Traditional House

Traditional Details — Modern Insights

This contemporary-meets-traditional home boldly proclaims its position amidst the context of an established street in a historical neighborhood. Material choices are intended to be crisp and distinct, speaking clearly of integrity and propriety while massing and formal composition hint at something a little more provocative.

SPATIALLY DYNAMIC INTERIOR

The rear of the house takes a warmer turn, with an Arts and Crafts inspired wood and glass curtain wall that arranges the main living areas around an exterior courtyard. These living areas are spacious and are built for hosting while also providing more intimate areas for relaxation or study. The second floor moves sinuously within the main volume of the house, creating exhilarating interior volumes and strong connection between floors. Demonstrating our commitment to combining spirited architectural solutions with thoughtful reverence to our cities’ historic architecture, this house utilizes familiar residential elements, such as gable and dormer, to conduct a modern arrangement of volume and form.
