14 Half & Half House
An active family’s small coastal home needed more space. The back half of the “traditional” cottage was removed and replaced with a new “non-traditional” addition. A light filled vertical shaft containing open riser stairs and an elevator stitches the old to the new. Vertical lattice used to conceal space under the house evolves into a rain screen embracing the new addition. The new rooftop is a “party deck” where the family enjoys hot tubbing, sun-bathing, and unobstructed 360 degree views of the entire beach community.
