The renovated cottage is light and airy. The flooring is re-milled oak barn siding. The house is heated with a hydronic radiant system.Photo by: Cesar Rubio -
New details create modern geometries with vernacular materials. The stair brings light into the center of the house and the basement.Photo by: Cesar Rubio -

Galvanized sheetmetal chimney cladding, a steel trellis and steel railings bring modern details and materials to the exterior. The steel trellis acts as a "drag strut and anchor" for the whole house, providing necessary seismic reinforcement while minimizing invasive changes to the older shell.Photo by: Cesar Rubio -
FSC-certified cedar siding and high-performance wood windows by Loewen add to the sustainable construction of the house.Don't miss a word of Dwell! Download our FREE app from iTunes, friend us on Facebook, or follow us on Twitter!
