The legacy of Pettit+Sevitt

What makes Pettit+Sevitt homes so special — and how can they evolve for modern life?

More than 60 years on, these homes remain admired for their thoughtful planning, connection to landscape, passive design principles and distinctive mid-century character.

Renovating one is about more than updating an old house. It’s about understanding the original design, identifying what makes it special, and finding thoughtful ways to adapt it without losing its character.
