South 2nd Residence

Situated on a double lot on South 2nd Street, this unbuilt project was designed for an active young family with grandparents and other relatives across the street.  With kids and family members regularly moving back and forth between the properties, the focus of the home is a shared common space in the front yard.  After passing through a stone site wall at the street and across a planted parking court, a courtyard garden contains a large pool and covered area for entertaining.

The volume of the house consists of a one story bar parallel to the street, and a two story bar parallel to the pool.  The entry hall bisects the public and private areas of the house - to the right is a vaulted space that contains the kitchen, dining, and living areas.  The primary suite is tucked at the rear of the property for privacy, and the second floor contains the secondary bedrooms that includes a guest apartment with access from a separate entrance.
