This House Has One End Surrounded By Glass On Three Sides

Married couple Theo Reitsema, an architect, and Stephanie Weitering, an interior designer, spent a year living in a house that dates back to 1967 to see what would be the best way to update the home.

The house has a lower level that’s covered in dark stucco. A stepped path leads from the driveway to the front door.

Behind the living room, kitchen and dining room, is another living area called ‘The Garden Room’. This room is darker and cozier, with a fireplace, a wrap-around bench and wood paneling. Bi-fold doors open the room to the outdoors creating a smooth transition between the room and the garden outside.
