Concept design as a speculative 2-unit development in the heart of South Lamar, on a single family corner lot. The architecture promotes the interaction between outdoor and interior spaces throughout, with large decks including roof decks, articulated with translucent elements for natural light penetration within the enclosed living spaces. Strategically oriented on the site, the project features a metal wall plane that slices through the middle of the lot as an element of shade to the second storey terraces, as well as acting as a natural ventilation fin that helps direct the breezes through the building.

This project values all elements of green building, utilizes the site effectively, and conserves the trees, while taking advantage of the greatest things the trees have to offer: dappled light, shade, cover canopy, greenery, etc.

The main house is 2100 SF and the secondary apartment is 1000 SF. Both units contain “Convertible Spaces” for flexibility of use of spaces.
