Modern Ranch House Conversion - Interior

The brief for the house involved making the existing one more open, modern, and larger for the growing family. Although the clients had asked for a second story, the architects were able to preserve the ranch style of the house by extending the house into the rear without losing the backyard space, allowing the larger single story space to meet all the program requirements. Energy efficiency was also included into the conversion of the house, insulating the walls, floors, and ceilings, with a hydronic heating floor system.
