The nature of THE CLIENT & THEIR NEEDS

  • Divide the sloped property into 3 lots.

THE DESIGN RESPONSE

  • Exposed wood beams and columns, exposed steel bracket details.

  • Exterior common courtyard that creates a micro-neighborhood.

  • Common courtyard designed to mitigate all rain water from all roofs from the houses.
