Liberty Hill
The main aim of this conversion of a Victorian house was the creation of stronger connections between the house and the garden. The old enclosed kitchen and utility rooms were torn down and in their place a new kitchen was built, with a media room above it.
The high kitchen windows look out on the terraced gardens and the media room has a new shady balcony, reached by a curved wall of windows with a 180-degree view of the landscaped garden. The Alaskan yellow cedar beneath the overhanging roof gives warm color, natural texture and a sense of enclosure and intimacy to the exterior space and the otherwise formal façade. Inside, an interesting art collection adorns the home.
