This mid-century renovation embraces an amazing natural view from a city lot where a former duplex is re-united. Attention to detail and materiality along with a careful organization of spaces helps the home fit appropriately into its surrounding. By taking into consideration the existing conditions, the design provides an expansive deck and front addition to engage nature without damaging its roots. Parts of the exterior cypress veneer are pulled inside the home providing cabin-like comfort while floor to ceiling windows frame the views.
