Concept: a) Two interlocking gabled structures. One, a two story tower; the other a simplistic volume reminiscent of the cottages which had once occupied this area.
Solution: a) The compact footprint of the first floor provides three, spatially distinct zones. An efficient Entrance Lobby with Work and Living Room spaces distinguished by a single column supporting the tower above. b) The “Tower” form of the addition provides a more distinct, albeit discrete entrance to the house.
