The Cielo del Rio project was an 800 square foot addition to an existing 2190 sq. ft. home. The addition design was developed congruently with that of the original award winning house that was designed by Morris Brown. The objective was to create a space that combined a string instrument repair workshop, instrument testing studio, and a living space that included a kitchenette and bed. In addition, this project require direct southern light exposure and an enclosed courtyard for specific landscaping.
