RESTORATION

In collaboration with D’Arcy Jones Architects

The recent work focused on structural repair, material continuity and calibrated modernization. Deteriorated cladding and assemblies were renewed to preserve the original character and proportional clarity of the house.

Alterations introduced through a 1966 addition were recalibrated to align with Thom’s horizontal wood volumes and vertical masonry anchors. A new low-slung bedroom wing was introduced as a deferential addition, separated from the original structure to maintain hierarchy and proportional balance across the site.

The separation establishes a clear spatial threshold between volumes, allowing light and landscape to mediate the relationship between old and new. A planted courtyard reinforces this continuity, framing granite, cedar and glazing within a cohesive architectural language.

Original masonry elements, including the grey carport wall and sculptural wood-burning fireplace, were repaired and repointed. These vertical anchors continue to organize the composition, while extended glazing and restored cedar planes register shifting light throughout the day.
