The Writer’s Stu­dio and Li­brary ad­di­tion con­nects to a mid-cen­tury ram­bler. The ex­ist­ing house is lo­cated within a beach com­mu­nity on a long nar­row lot on Kiket Bay. Work­ing within the prop­erty and shore­line re­stric­tions, the ad­di­tion is at­tached to the ex­ist­ing south fa­cade of the liv­ing room. A new open­ing cut into the wall east of the fire­place leads to a canted hall­way. As the hall­way grad­u­ally widens, the space ex­pands into the li­brary and the writ­ing stu­dio at the west­ern end. The but­ter­fly roof de­sign al­lows for gen­er­ous win­dows with views of Kiket Bay and pro­vides south­ern clerestory light. Rain­wa­ter drains from the roof into stain­less steel gut­ters, ex­tend­ing from the roof, and pours into a con­crete basin filled with beach stones.
