The Norwich residence is a home for an ER doctor, her film producer husband and their two young children. The primary challenge of the project was to fit the relatively large residence on a narrow suburban lot, without creating a hulking elongated building.
Our strategy was to divide the building into quadrants so that it appears to be a cluster of four smaller building, rather than a large “mass.”
Floor to ceiling doors and windows surround the home office, providing maximum transparency and connection to the adjacent deck and living spaces.
A wood screen conceals the private entryway and stairs down to the house and roof deck.
Planters are embedded in the walls to soften the corners of the cedar-clad volumes.
