The Elm Street residence consists of the renovation of an existing abandoned row house and a new urban infill in the adjacent empty lot.  The new addition features a large open space for kitchen and living, with a unifying wall of wood-clad cabinetry on the North wall and a generous courtyard on the East end of the site. The Elm Street facade will have a custom-fabricated steel plate screen element that shifts parametrically closed to provide privacy at the bottom and open to provide light at the top of the wall.  The existing building will accommodate bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as a new stair and elevator for aging-in-place. Reclaimed wood surfaces will be used for the stair and storage areas in the existing building.
