O'CONNOR RESIDENCE

O'Connor Residence

The original 1980’s “Spec” center-hall Colonial offered little in architectural response to its dramatic surroundings. Fronting on The Washington Golf Course, the client complained of dark uninspired rooms. They longed for abundant light and views. The new addition is centered on the rear façade. Large center and corner windows emphasize the panoramic vistas. The “glassy” master suite is easily made private by the use of electric remote controlled roller shades hidden behind wall trim. The new Ipe deck was relocated around the side to allow better views from the family room and eat-in kitchen. A residential elevator was seamlessly inserted to connect all four levels.
