In addition to updating the house, the family also needed a detached garage with a writer’s office above. To place the garage where it needed to go while staying inside the 20’ side setback would require demolishing an original stone stair that led to the lower yard. The stair had significance, not only because of its historical value, but because it was the start of a strong axis that threaded itself through pockets of plantings and landscape elements in the backyard. By arguing for the significance of this stair we were able to reduce the side yard setback from 20’ to 10’ placing the garage just alongside it.
