 BEFORE |
 his
home was an unusual contemporary home in the form of a bridge, with
open space at ground level under the center portion of the home. The
home suffered from the lack of a prominently located entrance, the
existing entrance being well hidden and having the feeling of a rear
entrance. In addition, the owner wanted to add a two-car garage and
new master bedroom suite above. The challenge was to accomplish the
addition with a prominent new point of entry, while maintaining the
existing contemporary character of the home. The solution was to form
the new section in clean rectangular lines with a low-slope membrane
roof, with the new point of entry being obviously indicated by a sheltered
entry terrace and the destination from the entry point being articulated
by a very prominent arrangement of trapezoidal windows in a form to
suggest the climb to the second floor, where the living space was
located. |
