THE MODERN RESIDENCE
BELOW TOP: A small footprint and the efficient use of space lead to an open floor plan that is organized to provide a range of public and private spaces. These
spaces allow residents the opportunity to engage with park-users and neighbors outside on two levels, or to retreat into the quiet solitude of their home and shel-
tered courtyard. The high ceilings and open stair enlarge the living room without increasing the overall footprint of the house.
BELOW BOTTOM: A built-in library and office open to the living room below.
FACING PAGE: The exterior living spaces transition from neighborhood connected social spaces on the street side to a secluded courtyard hidden from the public
view. The master bedroom opens to a private, second-story deck.
