Carriage House Home

Rather than symmetry or a proportional system, the object of this remodel was flow and connection. The project staircase tacks in towards the center of the layout to gently direct circulation, leaving a long flowing bookcase in its wake. Rounding the stairwell both softened the portal into the living room, and created space in plan for a small soaking tub in the main bath above. Sweeping ceiling coves guide progression into the dining, cooking and living areas.Project scope also included certificates of occupancy for three roof terraces and the associated work to raise parapets, fix drainage pitch, and resurface the facade with new stucco. The envelope of the home was upgraded to include air sealing, additional insulation, new steel and glass doors, and structural reinforcement of the roof for an urban garden.Custom built-in millwork, plan adjustments, lighting design and fine craftmanship make this a carriage house a home.
