This architect-led restoration of a 1959 residence reinterprets classic mid-century design through a bold, contemporary lens. With angular rooflines, intersecting volumes, and dramatic spatial compositions, the home was reimagined to maximize natural light while preserving its architectural heritage.
An award finalist, the project demonstrates how thoughtful design can elevate daily living through clarity of form, honest materials, and strong visual impact.
