Starling House

Named after a family of starlings nesting in one of the columns on the front porch.  This Folk Victorian is seeing a new life with its second family calling it home.  Our clients came to us wanting to preserve a large majority of the house but needed to add space for their family of four.  To achieve this, the addition was hyphenated to the existing home at the rear with a two-story addition.  The new volume is clad in cedar shingles and stucco with brick accents; all these materials can be found on the existing home.  Inside the original house a circulation spine is dotted with skylights connecting you back to the addition.
