Text description provided by the architects. 1. What were the inspirations and key concepts for the development of the project? Woodbury Residence drew inspiration from decalcomania—the art technique of creating mirrored patterns through folded paint. We applied this concept architecturally, not as literal replication but as thoughtful dialogue between old and new. The project's core concept emerged from our octogenarian client Kathryn's pioneering spirit. Rather than aging amongst accumulated memories, she embraced change through architectural transformation. Her approach echoed modernist architects' philosophy: curating select meaningful elements from the past—handwoven shawls, Edwardian furniture, her late husband's handcrafted rosewood table—while creating a contemporary living environment suited to her evolving needs.
