New home to a family of four, including a chef and a teacher, this gem became a social place, centered on the shared kitchen and living spaces, with colorful details linking the precious history of the house and its modern sustainable additions.

After four years of design, permitting and construction, the house is fully remodeled with a half-buried basement addition, a new interior floor without impacting the front facade and a fully usable backyard.
