The client wanted to fit as much house as possible on an existing teardown corner property in Kirkwood, MO. To add to the two-sided lot problem was a significant elevation change from the front to the back of the lot that made entry to the garage and driveway a challenge. The end result was a four-bedroom classy traditional style house with a homage to the arts and crafts movement. The house has a large, open living area with a fireplace and immediate access to the kitchen. A raised front porch with friendly ties to the community sets off the house like a cherry on a sundae!
