Blending multiple parts into one cohesive new whole

This was a remodel of an existing home that included previous additions. The owners bought on spec and needed a rescue. We were hired to resolve the design into something marketable, so there was no direct client. The design integrated the variety of configurations into one cohesive unit. We worked with the idea of bringing the outdoors in, using materials to modulate the experience of being inside with outside elements.
