FD|A was tasked to preform an extensive an interior and exterior renovation of the residence. The existing house was dated and disorganized in both plan and material expression and lacked a true master suite and main floor laundry. It was our design intent to unify the project in material expression and rework the plan to solve functional needs. The living area is conceived as a sires of distinct rooms that are visually and spatially linked through the central circulation core.

In the  main floor master suite, we reworked the plan to eliminate a small bedroom to accommodate the master closet, bath, and a new central laundry room. An extra wide corridor was modified to create an office space concealed behind a full height jib door. 

The basement celebrates the unusual fact that the original house utilizes a poured concrete frame and slabs. The frame and ceiling is left exposed and all new partitions are treated as an infill to this frame. The basement contains an additional family room, play area, kitchenette, along with an addition two bedrooms and full bathroom.
