ALTONDALE RESIDENCE
Located on a traditional street in a neighborhood established in the early 20th century, this home is built on a lot originally intended for modest one and two story homes. While many of these lots have been reclaimed by larger dwellings there remain enough to warrant efforts for a complimentary scale. This 2 1/2 story home with 5 ample bedrooms, traditional public spaces, wide circulation and various gathering and utility spaces maintains a street scale sympathetic to its neighbors – a one story dwelling to the right and 2 story colonial to the left. The design makes use of steeply-pitched roofs and shed dormers. Abundant windows provide complimentary scale as well as a rich interior bathed in natural light.
