3/1 House
The 3/1 House addresses the challenges of the post-war nuclear family starter home adapted to the needs of today’s single professional. The standard three bedrooms/ one bath house, including separate Kitchen, Dining and Living quarters, defined (and limited) the original structure. While budget restrictions necessitated the original house envelop to remain, a complete gutting and reconfiguring of the interior spaces was possible. The result: one large “living” room, one big sunny bathroom, a quiet bedroom, and a home office. Further out, the landscape and garden plan form outdoor rooms, which both augment and expand the light filled interior spaces, and (ironically) the vintage mid-century furnishings.
