Project 1- Rahm Cottage
For a Wisconsin family shared by 3+ generations, this year-round house replaced a cherished summer cottage that couldn't match the living requirements of a large extended family. Recalling elements of the old cottage, the home uses more modern spatial ideas to create a gathering place that is comfortable for 2 or 22.

Project 7 - Timeless Expansion
Designed while with YA Architecture a 1920's house is nearly doubled in size utilizing architectural details and materials consistent with the original house. To accommodate a family of six, spaces were made generous and interconnected in a fashion to foster the way families live in the early 21st century. Great lengths were taken to source salvaged yellow bricks that are no longer able to be manufactured with the clays presently available. Newly added rooms re-interpret the older rooms both in terms of material rendition and contemporay uses.

Project 8 - Restrictive Building Site
Designed while with YA Architecture a new house for a couple proves challenging due to a very narrow piece of property. Seven separate variances were required due to the severely substandard property. By carefully placing the house in relation to the neighboring structures and yards, the house creates internal spaces by implementing a detached garage that provides privacy from the street and site landscape walls that provide privacy on the lakeside.
