An inspired renovation and expansion of single-family home by Kennerly Architecture and Planning. Cool modern design warmed by generous use of softwoods. As described on Architect’s website:

Two floors are added atop a 1949 row-house to accommodate an active family in flowing, informal living space. The existing house is stretched back into the slope of the hill establishing a podium of bedrooms and service areas. Its façade is wrapped in a veil of cedar pickets. Above, the open living area with glass at both ends accesses the garden and panoramic views. Like a ship in a bottle, the facetted cedar master suite is suspended overhead between skylights that bring sun-light deep into the center of the home.

Featured in the New York Times Great Homes, 27th Street’s red cedar façade, floor-to-ceiling windows, open floor plans, pristine finishes and inspiring views, coalesce into a warm modern single family home.
