The owners of this contemporary home designed in the 1950's, retained Carr, Lynch and Sandell to update the structure and reorganize the interior to reflect their current needs. New fenestration and the replacement of the deep roof overhang with a more open trellis gives the exterior facade a transparency that accommodates the view, provides sun shading and updates the look of the exterior. A state-of-the-art kitchen is the focal point of all family activities. simple elegant materials and detailing affirm the modernist roots of the original house.
