A remodel built on an existing 24’x28’ floor and foundation infrastructure, the constraints of site and footprint result in an efficient vertical house that reaches the maximum allowable zoning envelope to provide a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces.
Economy is embodied in every aspect of this project including the sharing of site resources; reuse of the existing structure & utilities; efficient spatial organization; the owner acted as the general contractor; and the selection of materials and systems based on low monetary, environmental, and life-cycle costs.
