Contemporary extensions to heritage homes are often guided by similar parameters as well as following and leaning on historical architectural details. With the Ashland Residence, Hsu McCullough bent the rules to create a House Mullet: a full alteration of an existing 1906 unreinforced masonry home at the street with a two-story modern extension in the back was instinctually collaborative with homeowner. Refreshingly offbeat and rich in natural material maximalism. The client brought her own creative touch to the selection of the furnishings and finishes. As seen on the Dwell on Design 2018 home tours and featured on Pendulummag.com
