ROCKRIDGE RESIDENCE

PARTY IN THE BACK

In this transformed home, traditional melds to modern from the original entry to the back of the house, culminating in a double story rear addition. A full interior renovation ties the original house to the new spaces. The relocated kitchen now opens directly, through a wall of folding glass doors, to a new outdoor entertaining area nested in the up-sloping yard. On the second floor, a new master suite rich in materiality and garden views provides a sanctuary for sleeping, bathing, and relaxing by the double-sided fireplace.
