There is the notion in architecture of building upon the foundations of our predecessors both in theory and practice. Such is the case with Hall House, which seeks to reinterpret and re-imagine what it means to be modern migrants homesteading in a new city. Relocating from the political culture of Washington, DC to the remote city of Duluth, MN, the owners purchased a house constructed in the 1880s that was significantly inefficient with regard to the building envelope, layout, and natural orientation to light and views.
