The Seneca house is a renovation and addition that balances old and new. The existing cottage is refreshed and renovated, while a new complementary structure provides additional modern bedroom and art studio space.

The balance between the existing cottage and the new addition was achieved by formally taking shared shapes in a vertical composition to contrast with the original horizontal composition. The oceanfront structure sits on the dune with amazing views and access to the beach.
