This renovation transforms an aging 1950s riverfront residence into a refined contemporary retreat while preserving the character and history of the original home. Located along the water's edge, the project reimagines the existing structure through strategic additions, expanded glazing, and a carefully curated material palette that strengthens the connection between the home and its natural surroundings.
The design introduces clean architectural forms, generous overhangs, and large windows that capture river views and bring abundant natural light into the interior. Existing spaces were reconfigured to create an open, modern floor plan better suited to contemporary living, while maintaining key elements of the original home's scale and presence. Natural stone, durable metal accents, and warm interior finishes were selected to complement the landscape and provide a timeless aesthetic.
Particular attention was given to integrating the residence with the site, allowing the architecture to engage with the riverfront setting while respecting the surrounding environment. The result is a thoughtful renovation that balances preservation and innovation, creating a home that feels both rooted in its history and fully adapted for modern living.
