Sliver Lot Housing Prototype
Recognizing that challenges of privacy and adequate lighting are inherent to designing for a narrow lot, this prototype proposal inverts the traditional hierarchy of a two-story house and introduces a range of daylighting techniques. A continuous public space on the second floor elevates the majority of the house’s activity above the street, and rotates out to capture daylight and respond to a contextual privacy gradient in large bay windows. Where second floor spaces rotate away from the envelope, lightwells penetrate through to bedrooms on the first floor.
