The existing historic Carriage House filled the lot on the ground floor, making a large space 24’ x 76’ with very limited access to light and air. To transform this into an inspiring residence, three strategic openings are made to allow light and air to permeate the spaces of daily living.

The concept design leaves intact all historical exterior elevations and roof profiles, maintaining the Landmarks integrity of the structure, while at the same time transforming the living spaces into light-filled open rooms fitting to the daily lifestyle of a young family in the 21st Century.
