Flora Addition
Weston, CT
1977
Every kid, on the assumption that heroes are made not born, spends at least some time shooting baskets. The basketball hoop, mounted proudly on the garage, has become a suburban metaphor for the American way of life.
When our clients wanted a new dining room, study, and garage added to their unpretentious suburban house, BumpZoid's suggestion was a garage/tail that wagged the house/dog. The building is a loose weave of baronial den, sophisticated car storage, and overscaled dreams of future stardom.
