Hotel Huron, Cambridge, MA

Renovation and additions to an existing Neo-Colonial residence built in 1905. The architectural organizing idea was resolution of the tension between the planes and axes of the front and back streets which bound the property. A new courtyard was created by excavating a sloping site down to the basement level and adding a new kitchen façade, rear entry and porch along with new exterior basement walls below. Within the house a new kitchen, toilet and basement office space reflect the organization of both the existing house and the new construction.
