Milford Avenue

Conceived for an artist, her husband, and daughter, this design responds to the clients’ desire for a house that evokes a sculptural quality and provides the backdrop for an art collection. The house is divided into a series of geometric forms under its simple gabled roof. Two rectangular wings are divided by the cylindrical stair form, which can be seen through a proscenium arch that frames the house. Generous windows, skylights, and glass doors allow natural light to fill the house, animating the interiors and strengthening the indoor/outdoor connection.
