This house in a small New Jersey town merges modern design with a traditional surrounding neighborhood by thoughtfully modulating scale and materials. The lower level is anchored to the site with solid cast concrete, providing a strong foundation, while the upper level showcases a lighter facade of stucco complemented by warm wood accent panels.
Inside, the house is welcoming, with an extensive use of warm interior materials like wood and stone. A standout feature is the central staircase that serves as the heart of the home. It not only connects the various levels but also acts as a focal point, with a skylight above flooding the core of the house with natural light.
The house maintains an efficient and compact footprint, perfectly suited for its narrow site. This thoughtful layout optimizes space while allowing for an abundance of natural light and seamless integration with the outdoors.
