Their property is located in a quiet wooded subdivision of mostly 1960s houses similar to the one they had bought, and they wanted their new house to look as if it belonged. Those goals included not just more space, but more space in which the family could interact. They also wanted the house to relate better to the backyard, which is bordered by conservation land. To maintain a scale in tune with the surrounding houses, Lukez kept the front of the house at its original 50-foot length. Among his solutions were multifunctional rooms, a floor plan that allows for views from room to room, the almost total elimination of hallways, and a basic language of patterns and materials that creates a unifying motif.
Nothing is random, yet nothing is predictable.
