Originally the site of the Gray Brothers quarry (1899), Corona Heights is a neighborhood with ringed streets that surround Corona Heights Park and the Randall Museum. The rear yard of this (1925 b.) home backs up against Corona Park, creating a feel more wild than urban. We were asked to re-envision the house top to bottom for a more open floor plan, a more welcoming entry, more natural light and framed views of the park. A distinctive 'blue ribbon' wraps the entry stair and creates an abstract geometry living at the heart of the home.
