This Craftsman Style home from the turn of the century is located in the heart of the Cleveland Park Historic District. The program was to enlarge the house and open it to the significant rear, south-facing yard, while respecting the massing and material qualities of the original house.
The solution centers around the extension of the existing center hall, connecting the Entry Hall through to the rear raised deck, while allowing cross views between the Kitchen/Breakfast Room to the new Family Room by means of an open custom designed cabinetry that also displays the family's art collection. A newly created back hallway creates a convenient Mudroom and Powder Room. A multi-level deck connects the house to the rear yard. Other elements included a complete Basement renovation for Play Space, a Guest Room and Office. A Second Floor bay expanded a small dark bedroom.
