An extensive renovation project that includes replacing earthquake-damaged cladding with a modern insulated envelope, replanning the spatial arrangement, and creating a new roof form that responds to the context. 

​

The concept of this design relates to the level change of the surrounding topographic context, translating it into an interior feature. The design also responds to the contextual gable craftsman cottages of the street, within a restrictive planning envelope. The improved spatial arrangement maximizes living across four floors, connecting all stories through an open central core and roof terrace.
