		BEDFORD HILLS CAPE

		Taking cues from the clients’ 1940s furniture
		collection, modernist design details were introduced
		to this former traditional cape. The maze like plan was
		gutted, and by inserting a central line of structure,
		the house’s orientation was altered without changing
		the footprint. New floor to ceiling windows open views
		from every point in the house. A balcony with a steel
		cable railing cantilevers over a wall of Bedford stone,
		extending the kitchen and bedroom spaces which
		overlook the terraced garden below.

		Specifications: 2,300 sf renovation
