The original residence was a patchwork of dark, disconnected spaces and inefficient circulation. Our goal was to open the ground floor into a series of flowing, daylight-filled formal rooms while reclaiming redundant corridors to accommodate a full mudroom, laundry, sauna, and private JADU access.

A series of prior additions had created awkward corners, low ceilings, and severed connections to the backyard tennis court. By selectively removing a low, single-story addition, we were able to introduce a brighter, more spacious living room that opens directly onto the yard, while restoring coherence to the rear elevation in keeping with the Tudor character of the original building.On the upper floors, a tight, winding stair previously dictated a disorganized layout. By repositioning the stair, we clarified circulation, created an additional bedroom and dressing room within the existing footprint, and improved the overall flow and comfort of the home.
