Bricks@47 House / Design Plus

Brief [Design as you please, but this is my budget] - Any project where an architect receives an open hand is an ideal project. However, as the studio acknowledged during Bricks@47, it's also an immense responsibility. It helped that we knew the occupants well, personally, and could discuss accurate programmatic solutions during the formation of the brief. The house is designed for a young nuclear family with 4 permanent residents. Apart from the proverbial bedrooms the program evolved with 2 studies and several overlapping, yet shared family spaces. Each of these was constantly engaged with the 18’ high dining.
