Barnes Residence
When they asked the design team to renovate their mid-century modern home, Rob Barnes and Karen Bisset knew that they were living in a well-designed space. They challenged the team to think like the original architect and retain the residence’s best qualities–the ample daylight, the exposed structure, the high quality craftsmanship, the clean and reserved material palette, and the understanding of how materials come together. In the expansion, they wanted more space for the kids, more privacy for the adults, and more openness in general.
