Renovating the remarkable 1828 historic Snider House required an innovative design to participate in an architectural dialogue between past and present. A two-storey rear addition with undulating glass wall was added to the existing heritage structure juxtaposing the solidity and order of the original house with new elements of contemporary geometry and lightness. From its restored heritage façade to the sinuous glass veil of its addition, every detail was carefully considered. Material, proportion, and craft come together to create a layered residential language ready for the next 200 years.
