1950 Ranch Renovation

The home while in a dense suburb, is sited high on a hill with a steep drive up from the street and into a wooded hillside creating a secluded oasis of natural privacy allowing for large windows with sweeping views of a woodland setting to the west and NYC to the east and no need for privacy blinds. We seized on the opportunity to reframe the roof with a gable over the front primary suite and the rear family room and kitchen addition and then we followed the roof line with larger windows and added sky lights in the primary suite and kitchen. This together with the new saw tooth roofline with clerestory windows allow natural light to penetrate deeper into all the living spaces. (interior images of the other spaces to follow soon)
