ABOVE, LEFT & FACING PAGE: Situated on an irregular, narrow lot in an older suburban neighborhood, this
newly constructed home was designed as a downsize opportunity for owners looking for a pied-à-terre in
Birmingham, Alabama. Designed without a variance, the home pays respect to its Tudor Revival neighbors
both in material and scale, with a f ront volume designed with battered piers and a steeply sloped roof. Artisan
brick with a reflective finish catches the morning light and brightens the facade without the use of paint. The
house also makes use of all its square footage, with plentiful built-ins, floor-to-ceiling cabinetry in the kitchen,
and hidden rooms and storage tucked away behind a breezeway finished in oak paneling.
