blodgett-calvin PART IV

Set apart from and overlooking the landscape, the original house, designed by Calvin Straub, consists of four distinct wings that converged at a closed-in kitchen. Below the shallow gable roofs, the house subscribes to a rigorous set of rules concerning structure, material and detail.

Reconfigured entry court

Working off this matrix, the remodel sets out to introduce a connectivity that was lacking and weave in a set of new experiences.

Each adjoining outdoor court is re-commissioned into purposeful spaces with improved connection to the interior. 

In the main bedroom, a linear bathing zone weaves into the bedroom and out to a shower garden, blurring the line between what is in and what is out.
