Hilz House
The homeowner of this small older house wanted a brighter, more open kitchen and a light-filled master bedroom and ensuite. An elegant “portal” serves as the connection between the characterful original house and the pared-down aesthetic of the addition. Innovations like slide-out countertops and clever storage create more flexibility in the kitchen. The ensuite with its open shower and in-floor radiant heating is a favorite with the owner’s dog! The exterior, too, celebrates the different styles while tying the old and the new together through color and texture.

With the portal from the main house to the kitchen, we’re saying, ‘yes, you’re going somewhere new—this is the new era!’
