The original house was built in 1950 on a 58' x 131' lot. It was a 1 ½ story
wood frame home with approximately [1600sf above grade
finished space and 1100sf below grade] half of which
was finished. It had a detached 1 ½ car
garage.
The condition of the original structure was typical for
a home of its vintage — minimal insulation, non code-conforming
electrical, single glazed windows, cracked plaster, asbestos-clad
vent stacks, small rooms with each space separate unto
itself.
The new home design was based on two key premises: to
be as thorough a green building as we could manage within
the budget and to be sensitive to the neighbors with
regard to setbacks, lot coverage, and light. The design
of the project evolved as a response to these two concerns
as well as our love for the honest and thoughtful use
of durable, green materials; our passion for skilled
craftsmanship; our joy in the discovery of new ideas;
and our abiding commitment to doing the right thing.
Oh and lest we forget, we'll be having lots fun along
the way and hosting an occasional neighborhood meet the
house party complete with local artists, great food,
and music.
