To renovate and gracefully expand a narrow, dilapidated house dating back to the 1880s, we drew on the design language and proportions of the original. Behind the restored Victorian façade, the split-level interior includes three open-plan floors with four bedrooms and three private patios. A roof deck offers views of the city. We also remodeled the existing one-bedroom guest house in the back private garden, inserting a large skylight and a mezzanine level.
