Text description provided by the architects. In the historic neighborhood of Highland Park, an aging 1920s house has been reimagined for a local designer and artist’s family. The project, which includes an expansion of the house and conversion of the garage into an ADU, emphasizes integration with the existing site. The original house framing and foundation were reused and absorbed into the new construction. The majority of the house was finished in fiber cement siding, known for its durability and cost efficiency. The variegated pattern of the siding references the clapboard siding of nearby Craftsman bungalows, while its green color (selected by the owner’s daughter) blends the house into the surrounding foliage.
