Swell House
-
New custom single family home and laneway house on a 50’ x 122’ lot. This house is conceived around five themes: 1) natural light + views, 2) Indoor-Outdoor connection, 3) Simple, natural and modern materials, 4)Experiential Layering and 5) Efficient + Well Proportioned spaces.
The house expands or “swells” as the seasons change. Large sliding glazed walls open up the main living spaces onto front and rear yard terraces effectively expanding the living space by 45 feet. These terraces are outdoor rooms that complement and enhance the interior spaces.
The placement and scale of the one bedroom laneway house with enclosed 2 car garage provides a private courtyard rear terrace.
