Belmont
Belmont, Massachusetts
Summer, 2015
7,000 sq ft
Residential – New Construction
The tragic loss of a recently renovated historic home in this dense Belmont neighborhood necessitated rebuilding the house. The owners saw an opportunity to depart from the traditional architecture to a more contemporary expression that would be informed by and more open to the site, yet respect the scale of the neighborhood.
The tightness of the site required that the square footage be stacked vertically. Layered horizontal roof planes reduce the scale of this verticality while also defining and holding exterior space.
