This six-story house floats like a treehouse over a sloping site. The design encompasses the remodeling of three bathrooms and the primary guest suite. The project also included the preliminary design for a basement addition, guest suite, boy’s bathroom and master bath.
The design takes on a number of contemporary strategies while still fitting with the classic wooded nature of the original design. Minimal detailing and floating horizontal lines are used throughout to complement the natural warm color palate. Curving playful forms are used to counter the rigid geometries and to break down the scale of the spaces. The project was on a fast-track delivery which included the specifications for all materials and finishes.
