The Pease Addition demonstrates one of the fundamental challenges of residential addition work in Girdwood: integrating new construction that is technically superior to the original while maintaining visual continuity.
The connecting link between old and new is expressed as a discrete timber-frame element — visually separating the two volumes while providing the structural and mechanical connection that unifies them.
Cedar cladding is matched to the original building's weathered profile using a controlled surface treatment that approximates 20 years of natural weathering in the Girdwood rain shadow.
