Originally conceived as a brick Regency-style cottage, Snider House has been recast as a contemporary residence by Giannone Petricone Associates. The intervention sensitively interprets the building’s heritage while providing all the functionality needed for modern family life.
The plan perfectly captures the house’s rich narrative, from its historical logic to the fine details that respect it.
“Moving toward the rear expansion and garden, the masonry’s solidity yields to a light, fluid “veil.” Glass – the client’s own medium – serves a conceptual rather than purely structural role, forming an undulating façade that blurs the building’s perimeter and draws the newly landscaped garden deep into the interior.”
