Horizontal Home


        The design for this 1200 square foot home(900sf interior and 300sf exterior) explores horizontality and the relationships of domestic interior spaces. It investigates how hyper private and hyper public can coexist on the same level.

Vertical Home


        Also 1200sf, but under a new 220sf footprint constraint, the vertical home manages stairs spatially and stresses their role in domestic spaces. Additionally, it studies the gradual change from public to private as one ascends the building.

Sectional Home


        This spatial exploration of sectional relationships in compact domestic spaces provides a solution to the geometry of overlapping cylindrical forms.
