House in Atherton

A product of multiple renovations, this former carriage house lacked a cohesive plan. In order to create spatial clarify throughout the residence, two existing stairs were redirected to create an implied central hall. New skylights above each stair funnel light into a previously dark interior, further enhancing the connective space of the home. Key rooms adjoining this hallway, such as the kitchen and master bedroom suite, were modernized and reworked to create alignments where none existed before.
