Jim Olson designed this residence in 1977. Fast forward almost thirty years and to new owners who found themselves with a home that was in need of updating—amazingly, the new owners sought out Jim Olson to remodel his own work. A site visit to the house quickly revealed that substantial changes had been made during, and after, original construction which had compromised the design. After conferring with the new owners, it was determined that in addition to updating the home, the new work would bring back much of the original design.
