This was a major gutting and renovation of a simple house that ignored the surroundings: it was cut off visually and functionally from the sunny, southerly views, and the adjacent woodlands to the north. The Kitchen now connected to the Dining Room takes advantage of the lovely Northerly woodlands. Since the grade slopes, the Entry is now signaled by the steps up to the Deck. Previously one entered the house at the lower level and had to navigate upstairs to be welcomed.
