From the project's inception, the students' design proposals for the
house were modestly sized, challenging contemporary residential trends.
The resulting design is 500 square feet of conditioned living space,
thoughtfully designed and detailed to house two individuals. The team
strove to design the house from the inside-out with the same care as
designing a sail boat, a functionally elegant vessel with
architecturally integrated elements, furnishings and storage, making
every detail and space count. Transparency, access to adjoining outdoor
spaces, and use of a portion of the roof for an outdoor room expands
both the virtual and actual size of the house while keeping its
ecological and spatial footprint small. The furnishings and organic
textiles support the project's contemporary sensibility.
