Wedge House

For the home remodel, four distinct architectural layers overlay the existing home’s brick façade, blending material and tones that also offer different levels of views and privacy. To accommodate the design, the interior footprint was augmented by just 366 square feet. The first layer addresses the owners’ request for an office, foyer, expanded living room, master bedroom; the second layer features transparency to acquiesce to the request for more light and expansive views into the forested park. A third layer of wooden decks and raised terraces encourage accessibility to fresh air and serve as connectors to free-flowing living spaces outside. A fourth, final layer of board railings and vertical stud curtains offers privacy from the park.
