RESIDENTIAL

This is a 2700 SF private
residence for a growing young
family in Raleigh, NC. With this
home we attempted to create a
sense of evolution, that it had
achieved its present state over
the course of many years, with a
variety of textures and
materials to help articulate
this notion. The clients were
looking for a home that all at
once accomodated their modern
lifestyle, paid homage to the
local tradition of the bungalow,
created indoor/outdoor spaces
and more.... all the while
maintaining as small a budget as
was possible.

As such the house was actually
designed and built with a budget
under $100SF the project was a
true exercise in efficiency and
making the most of every
decision. The first floor is
open and flexible allowing for
large gatherings of friends and
family to move freely throughout
the space from indoors out,
while maintaining an intimate
felling for nights spent
relaxing. Exterior living space
was maximized with porches,
decks and a balcony providing
access outside. The project was
completed in 2006.
