Veil House

  • under construction
Belmont, MA
2022

Veil House renovates a 1920s neo-Georgian home characterized by a dilapidated exterior and cloistered interior. In response, facade planes are treated as a series of movable veils — pushed, pulled, drawn or extended to produce calibrated relations to exterior space, light, and privacy.
