Den Master Bedroom Master Bath Office Bathroom Bedroom Deck
7
2nd Floor
Outside living space is created by a deck just off the dining room to the east. There is covered outdoor cooking space against the garage and a dining area defined by the second story overhang and slender columns that support it. The second level consists of two private bedrooms organized around less formal social space. The living space is wide open and well lit from the south facing windows. Just like the first floor, a nana wall on the south face of the building allows the wall to entirely open up to the deck and bring fresh air spilling into the house. The master bedroom has its own master bath as well as an attached office space and more intimate roof deck on the north side of the house. From this deck the views to the west are perfectly framed, making it the perfect place to wach a beautiful New England sunset.

Entry Foyer Living Room Kitchen Dining Room Bathroom Laundry/Utility Room Patio/Outdoor Kitchen Garage Deck
Boston, MA // Fall 2009
The house is laid out in a very simple manor. The first floor is dominated by three main rooms - the kitchen, dining room, and living room. Thick masonry walls create strong thresholds at the intersections of those spaces. Continous glazing along the south side provides ample sunlight and warmth while also highlighting the horizontality of the building. A nanawall of the kitchen is able to open entirely against the concrete wall removing the glass barrier between the interior and exterior of the house. The living room is defined by a slight level change which separates it from the circulation spaces around the entry. The kitchen nestled between the two thick walls with views out to the south. The dining room is just off to the side with a lower ceiling and intimate dining atmosphere.
