Three generations occupy a site with one existing home and one new construction; of paramount importance in the development of the site and new structure is fostering a mutually beneficial relationship between structures on site, while respecting existing uses. Building massing helps to frame the outdoor environment according to a desire for a variety of types of open spaces, from quiet and private, to open and active. Areas allotted for guest uses are oriented towards the street, where they can be accessed without passing through main living or outdoor family areas. Physical and visual thoroughfares across the site and building are punctuated by areas flexible enough to absorb a range of activities, whether individual or collective.
