Article source: Jeffery S. Poss, Architect A well-proportioned 1957 gabled house was constructed on the north edge of a small park. While the southern view of maturing park trees visible through the glazed gable end is delightful, an owner of dubious taste in the 1970s constructed a curiously awful Mansard carbuncle-of-an-addition to its west.

The solution was to create another gabled space, which expanded the park view. The original gabled space was updated to 21st century standards and became a spacious Kitchen; the new gabled space became a Living Area. A third gable faces the street and contains a garage and workshop. A courtyard completes the plan composition, creating a central oculus to bring light and transparency deep into the square plan.
