The project is an extensive renovation and addition to a late nineteenth century Victorian home complete with octagonal corner turret and projecting bay windows.

The entire rear portion of the ground floor was reconfigured to create an enlarged kitchen. Access from the kitchen to the rear yard was previously blocked by a pre-existing addition at the rear of the house that included a back staircase, laundry room, and pantry. With these rooms removed, the kitchen now expands to the south with a one-story addition that opens onto the rear yard with sliding glass doors and a large window seat bay.

The downstairs reconfiguration of the kitchen allowed for the renovation of the existing second floor bedroom directly above it into a new primary bedroom suite. With the back staircase now removed, the existing bedroom suite is now able to extend the full width of the house.

The access point to the bedroom was relocated to shorten the length of the existing hallway and the bedroom is now entered through an oversized door that pockets into the wall. Across the room is a sliding glass door that leads to a private mahogany roof deck with metal railing that is over the new one-story kitchen addition. The existing roof line was not modified, so it was decided the bed would be located in the portion of the room under the sloped ceiling.

A wall of built-in white oak wardrobes divides the sleeping area from the bathroom. A deep oak portal with concealed pocket door leads to the bathroom. The bathroom has a sloped plaster ceiling matching the ceiling in the bedroom. A high skylight centrally located into the bathroom maintains privacy and is visible from the bedroom through the oak portal.  The room is flooded with natural light, and the view of the sky provides a visual relief to the sloped ceiling.

The bathroom is finished with a restrained material palette. The honed white dolomite marble of the floor wraps the shower walls and a low storage surface alongside the soaking tub that extends into the shower as a seat. The walls are finished in a lime plaster that is water resistant and color matched to the dolomite marble tile. The oversized shower feels open to the room with its full height frameless glass shower enclosure.

The floating bathroom vanity is of the same white oak as the bedroom wardrobes and topped with a white marble top. Large frameless medicine cabinet floats on the lime plater wall and is naturally lit by the full height window to the side of the vanity.
