This ramshackle rental property in a fabulous location was deconstructed down to two standing walls and then completely rebuilt in neoclassic style. Working with the constraint of having to reconstruct within the existing footprint, design elements such as the introduction of vaulted ceilings allowed the living spaces to evoke more of an “apartment-in-the-city” feel. The addition of an Italian style portico to the entry and the introduction of extensive hardscaping to the yard in front of the house also created an important exterior feature that expanded the available living space in a meaningful way.
