Lantern House is an adaptive reuse of a single-story brick stable in the Fishtown section of Philadelphia. The project's program includes a single family residence, home office/studio, in-law apartment and two garden spaces.

In constructing the new house, the existing wood beams that made up the original roof of the stable were reclaimed for use in wall cladding, interior woodwork and stairs, and select furniture pieces. The existing brick walls were stabilized, repointed, and repurposed as both interior walls of the house, as well as garden walls at the exterior.

The plan is organized around two garden spaces that are located within the perimeter of the old brick walls. At the center, the Shade Garden incorporates a Koi Pond which aids in evaporative cooling of the space. This evaporative cooling assists in the passive cooling strategy for the overall structure. At the rear, there is a Sun Garden, opening off the living room. The placement of the gardens allows for the main living spaces of the residence to be surrounded by greenery, while still maintaining a sense of privacy.
