My third project for some of my oldest and dearest friends, this house was a labor of love. They had found a perfect, old, unmolested cottage on a double lot that hadn't been mowed in so long that it was covered with a yew forest. We kept the old house intact, updating the interior and finishing the attic. Then we added a whole new house onto the back, taking care to be clear about what's new and what's old and to create, at every turn, a sense of procession and surprise.
