Cardinal Coordinates
A creative, forward-thinking couple approached 3 Lights Design with the desire to remodel their boxy, unremarkable, ranch style home. Through our initial conversations, we came up with an exciting program, including the desire to feel more connected to the outdoors and the surrounding area while simultaneously having cozy places to nest, having a roof top deck to take in the sweeping views on all sides, and, in general to create and open, light-filled floor plan. Not only that, all new angles are based on the cardinal coordinates, that is, north-south-east-west and takes the home and orients it to the entire world.
The columns in this photo mark where a two walls separated once separated the former living room from a sunken office and dark entry way. Now it all full of light!
