Working together with contractor Henry Calvert of Calvert Ventures, the architects drew inspiration from the original house to create a more open home in the shape of an “L”.

In the master bathroom, there’s plenty of light from the window and skylight. The shower has been separated from the bath, although they do share the same tile on the wall.
