Faye + Walker Architecture, LEONID FURMANSKY · Coffered House

LEONID FURMANSKY

Add to collection

This residential addition was designed to provide more direct access to the
rear yard, currently underutilized by the residents. We flipped the program of
the house, moving the master bedroom to the front of the house and creating
new Living, Kitchen and Dining space to the rear of the existing house to
capitalize on this new relationship. A covered Terrace further enhances the
connectivity to the rear yard for this family of 4. Conceived as a simple trussed
rectangle, we ganged the trusses together to make deep, plywood clad beams,
the result a coffered ceiling that organizes the high windows south and north
which provide ample and dramatic daylight.
