More storage topped the wish list for this 1950's remodel. Since the homeowners both liked to cook, they need storage for their many small cooking appliances and large collection of spices, coffees and teas. The opening to the kitchen was widened, the back door was also replaced with a new wider dutch door, and a new raised Trex deck was added outside. Designed by Audry Cordero Jim Brady Photography

The smaller northern windows and the dormer "transom" provide constant light during the long winter days and cross ventilation during the cool summer nights.

This is a two-barn composition inserted into the slope. The façade orientations capture site-specific views and ample cross ventilation, simultaneously providing protection from fierce winter climate. The footprint saves trees and protects existing wetland resources.

This small addition to a transitional bungalow house was designed as a zen teahouse - a retreat into the realm of nature. The beautiful surroundings were invited into the family room addition through windows on all sides to bring views and cross ventilation and by large south-facing glass doors shaded in summer and acting as solar collectors in winter.
