Open Ended House / Wallflower Architecture + Design

The family of six was outgrowing their apartment unit and needed a much larger space for the children entering their teenage years. Coincidentally, they purchased a semi-detached plot a few doors down from a house we previously designed, which eventually led the family to us. The semi-detached house is oriented north/south, with the long side facing west. The house at the south-east face has an unblocked view between two neighboring houses at the rear, providing an open vista to the landscape behind. The north-west front of the house faces the street and receives the afternoon sun. This makes the rear a coveted location for the bedrooms.
