Museum Towers
The maximum allowed square footage on this small and steep
vacant lot was 1,400 SF and yet the owners wanted to fit a main residence, an
ADU, plus the required 2-car garage. We employed the use of courtyards as a way
of enlarging the living spaces. A total of 3, open to the sky, courtyards interface
with the towers protruding from the hillside. The circulation through the
spaces oscillates between interior and exterior, most notably in the ascension
to the 4th level via the corner wrapping exterior steps on the front
façade.
Vertical forms protrude from the hillside and
generate 3 open courtyards as a response to the challenges presented by this
small yet steep vacant lot.
Archaic and monolithic the home is covered in a rough vertically striated plaster.
