This project is a substancial renovation and addition to an existing unassuming 1940's ranch house with a focus on sustainability and indoor/outdoor living.  

Designed during the COVID quarantine, the family realized they needed to rethink how their home should function when together and apart.

The main house is built on an existing foundation extended to include a new larger kitchen and primary bath.

A new garage/DADU at the rear of the property is programed for space for teenagers to hang out and space for adults to work from home.

The result of the new two-structure design is a private courtyard in the center where people can gather and have access to the outdoors.
