Home of the Week: Light and bright in Venice

This contemporary twist on a Craftsman classic is an illuminating exercise in old-meets-new design. The original 1915 bungalow and a modern addition were fashioned to follow the movement of the sun, naturally lighting the interiors throughout the day. Bursts of citron-green color and tapering white wood slats give the exterior a sunny disposition.
