URBAN INFILL

Developing a new structure in an old neighborhood is an uncommon challenge in a city that is prone to favor newer sprawling suburban developments.

This design challenged our aesthetic tendencies, however, it yielded an opportunity to exercise a different set of skills in creating a home in an older neighborhood with difficult lot conditions.

The task of designing a modestly scaled home, adapted to the neighborhood and to the client was met with a solution that incorporated extensive protected outdoor space on a lot that would be considered small in most suburban neighborhoods.

The garage, almost invisible from the street, is generously sized but in no way dominates the exterior views of the building. 

Although its scale is well adapted to the neighborhood, the home's efficient plan can accommodate a very large family and guests with ease.
