  The Urdanoff-Zarriello Residence is a tale of a building in two centuries. The original residence is a 60s ranch which has been unmodified over the years. So the challenge becomes how do we provide an addition to this period piece that creates a holistic architectural expression while taking advantage of the great opportunities that the site offers while working with the existing building?

Although many ideas were considered, what caused the design to gel was the Owner’s penchant for flying. As we considered inspiration sources, we kept coming back to airfoil forms for the building. Using this inspiration, a gentle swoop is created as the addition arcs across the landscape. The resultant curvilinear forms when backed up by the tried and true gable forms of the existing house combine into a completely new aesthetic for living.
