"On the end of a cul-de-sac, two abutting lots are joined as a paired strata. The client, a naturalist by temperament and practice, refused the usual total capture of land and opted to hold one of the parcel as a private garden."
"On the adjacent plot, a disciplined mass of fair-faced concrete is lifted and aligned into a private residence for a family of five. The project begins as a double articulation: a block that codes and orders, and an adjoining ground that remains open to drift, an interstratum between built form and the site's wider continuities."
Two abutting lots at the end of a cul-de-sac are joined as a paired strata development. The client, a naturalist, rejected conventional land capture and chose to preserve one parcel as a private garden. On the adjacent plot, a disciplined mass of fair-faced concrete forms a private residence for five family members. The design establishes a double articulation: an ordered concrete block and an adjoining open ground that remains responsive to natural drift, functioning as an interstratum between the built structure and the site's broader environmental continuities.
