This modest house is re-conceived, accentuating the relaxed symmetry of the original. The renovations establish a clear sequence from front to back of house. An entry trellis with tall French doors replaces a dark three-season room, bringing daylight inside and conveying a cultivated presence to the street. The entry hall leads to the renovated kitchen. Efficiently configured and with refined details, this workspace is the hub of the house. The dining room, re-situated to the back of the house, overlooks the rear garden. With symmetrical bookshelves and windows on three sides, this space embodies the comfortable formality of the renovation.
