Designed to provide privacy in a semi-urban neighborhood while maximizing daylight and energy efficiency, this home balances openness with seclusion through walled exterior spaces combined with large glass expanses. A continuous flat roof with wide overhangs provides shade and reduces solar gain. Interior spaces flow seamlessly into the outdoors, including a landscaped oasis in the rear, blurring the boundaries and enhancing a sense of spaciousness. The resulting home offers twice the space in half the square footage, with ample glass, abundant sunlight, privacy and outstanding energy efficiency.
