Villa Park Modern

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.
