HOUSE 1813

Location: Lexington, KY

Size: 2,519 ft²

Phase: In Progress 

This house remains true to its 1950’s Cape Cod form, yet is re-designed with a more contemporary approach. The interiors provide flexible and open spaces for multiple uses, including accommodation for larger gatherings, a better functioning and usable kitchen, larger family room, guest toilet room, additional shower room on the basement floor with (2) additional sleeping rooms, and primary suite for the Owners on the first floor. 

Working with a modest budget, the project seeks to address multiple goals:

• Create a recognizable geometry that sensitively integrates the house within its existing context
• Design for economy, longevity, and value
• Create new functionality for the site as a whole through a stringent, yet minimal design approach
• Consider new space arrangement for better functioning of the residence overall
