An addition and complete renovation to an existing home replaces dark formal spaces and victorian detailing with an open floor plan, clean lines and contemporary materials.

At the new light-filled interior, a dual sided fireplace and bifolding doors open to the landscaping beyond; at the exterior, the decidedly modernist rear addition serves as a playful contrast to the home's existing traditional elements.
