The existing structure, designed by the East End Architect's Barnes Coy, was built in the mid-nineties. It provided us with an interesting plan and a tapered roof form to work with. We expanded on this language to create an enclosed space of tapering forms around the pool area. An added Brise Soleil shades the home from the intense southern exposure while tying all three volumes together. The added area creates a series of gathering spaces, including a sunken media room and several intimate reading nooks that are inviting during different times of the day.
