This custom single-family residence is a renovation of an existing mid-century split-level home, purchased by an empty-nester couple located in Englewood, NJ, United States. The house’s material palette reflects the owners’ appreciation of the warmth of wood and stone elements, designed by Robert Gross Architecture in 2023. The residence employs highly energy-efficient strategies, including deep overhanging eaves for solar shading and a highly super-insulated envelope with high-performance glazing.
