Beginning with the question “What do we really need? And how can we take all these things into consideration and still have a place that looks beautiful and is functional for anybody at any age?” this house was designed for an active couple in their 70's who wanted to design a house in which they could age in place.

To create a sense of space within the 1,200 footprint, the open-plan living room and kitchen lead to a covered porch with a table that seats 12 for summer dinner parties. The entry hallway serves as an art gallery in which to feature their art collection, and the front porch welcomes friends from around the neighborhood.
