Originally a Cape Cod house in a suburban setting. The 3000 sqft house is designed as both an exhibition space for a growing private collection of american crafts, ceramics, and baskets as well as a home for a family of 6. The house renovation balances the need to blend in with the other traditional neighboring houses as well as opening up the views to the backyard garden. Lining the rear yard u-shaped courtyard are wall-to-wall, floor to ceiling grided glass. Oriented to the newly opened views are all the main spaces: living, dining, den, and master bedroom. A TV built on a floor lift, solved the problem of the TV, view and fireplace juxtaposition.
