The “bones” of the house at 345 Paseo were found to be good. Built in the late 1960s it possessed a fun mid-century spirit and clear spatial organization. However the house lacked the close connection between the inside and the outside that the owners were looking for in a house. As a result, a major goal of the renovation project became to connect the interior of the house to the landscaped front and back yards. Working with the owner, our design team developed a scheme that saw the house organized by the addition of three “pavilions” to the original structure.
