Design Concept – An open concept living space developed from a 40-foot square footprint and have been modified and divided into three parts: private areas, public areas, and exposed circulation. 

This division of areas are visually present in both plan and elevation of the home. The exterior and interior of the home was designed with a simple material palette, and by using traditional forms within a modern spatial composition.

The home was designed modularly, utilizing the standardized dimensions of 4’ and 8’. Using these standard sizes and multiples of, allow maximum usage of materials, which leads to minimum waste, as well as a faster construction process. All finish options and building materials are also eco-friendly and require low maintenance, reducing any material off gassing, and heat loss. Additional sustainable applications include the use of energy efficient appliances, a cistern used for water recycling, water conserving plumbing fixtures, and instant hot or tank-less water heaters.
