This residence is an urban in-fill project located in Salt Lake City, Utah. The existing site was a church that was demolished and replaced with five sub-divided lots. For this particular lot, it is a long narrow lot with a panoramic south facing view.

The architectural design solution is to maximize the efficiency of the limited square footage foot print allowed by the local municipal planning zoning ordinances, along with views and solar angles. While at the same time, meeting the programmatic needs for the client.

The end resulting in a passive solar house with an honest low maintenance material expression that represents the layering ordering system of the spaces as well as the program:

public vs. private.
