2026 National Award
Detached Outbuilding

This project involves renovations and additions to a small guest house that is part of a larger residential compound originally designed by Fernau + Hartman Architects. The goals were to address the physical and perceptual challenges of aging in place while preserving and honoring the original design of the compound.

The new design transformed the guest house into an accessible and self-sufficient house. It has a necessary degree of privacy from the main house but is still part of the overall compound. This arrangement and proximity will enable three generations of the family to interact, socialize, and support one another.
