2007 BSB Design
Competition:
The Middle Home
Location:
Lake Eola Historic District (LEHD)
Orlando, Florida
Lot Size:
40’
x 147’, front faces west
Design Statement:
Design
a new single family residence on an infill historic district lot within walking
distance to downtown Orlando, ThortonPark,
LakeEola, and a variety of additional social
and cultural venues. The site is located between two show homes designed for
the 2007 International Builders Show, The New American Home and The Renewed
American Home.
The
Middle Home will be the architectural thread that ties the show homes
together…and for that reason will likely have more significance than either of
those two.
In
addition, the home must be compatible with “contributing structures”, those
that add to the historical significance of LEHD.
