A small site. A generous home.

A former dilapidated garage makes way for a new home within a Cambridge conservation area. Vaulted ceilings and a private courtyard bring space and light to a compact site.

Built-in furniture, thoughtful storage and carefully chosen materials were developed closely with the client to make every part of the home work harder.
