SIZE
1000 sqft - 3000 sqft
Starting with a vacant lot that was half of the typical minimum lot size, the objective was to
compensate for the relatively small footprint of the house.
To achieve this there are only 2 full height walls inside the house which makes the main interior
room nearly as large as the building footprint. This gives the house an open lofted feeling with
very high ceilings and abundant natural light.
It is an inversion of expectation, so that the smallest house contains the largest room. What
the house lacks in square footage it provides in volume.
The free plan of the vacant lot is preserved since the house touches the ground only at the four
small piles, giving full access to use the space between the house and the lot. The footprint of
the foundation is in fact less than 20 sq.ft. and the house doesn’t touch the ground at any point.
The plan of the house follows the shape of the site which is an asymmetric parallelogram. This
form resulted in unusual geometry inside and outside the dwelling and explains the shape of
the house. The elevations of the house are designed to mirror the plan.
