A tale of two facades...
The owners had differing opinions about the genre their remade Rambler would ultimately assume. Both were agreed on size and disposition of the new spaces, but, a favored house style was very much a point of conjecture. One was a fan of the traditional Revival styles found in Seaside, FL, and favorite family vacation destination. The other was inspired by a more modern vernacular.

Ultimately, the design solution combines both styles into one cohesive composition. Being a corner lot, both home owners agreed the two public facing sides should be traditional to better relate with the immediate neighbors and neighborhood. The rear, very much hidden from the public eye, is in sharp contrast. It departs from the other facades in both form and materials. The angular rear building profile is a literal reflection of the "buildable area limits" allowed by the building authority. The ground floor building limits are less restrictive and allowed just enough additional building area for a 1-story functional single-car garage and much needed storage space.

The interiors are also a fusion of Traditional and Contemporary design. The original ground floor was transformed into open-plan living space. The remade interiors are clean interrelated volumes. A steel open riser stair maintains desired light and openness . Reclaimed "Old-Growth" wood is used as an accent material.
