Carriage House
A mini multi-functional house and its garden. Due to the small size of the lot (20'x24'), and the height limit of 24', the best response was to use shifting as method to maximize the usability of the space. The result was in the form of staggered volumes. The poetry is that each of those spatial volumes is a fictional volume that contains different stories that happened, are happening, and will happen; stories where the inhabitants inside the spaces are the characters inside the books. 7 interconnected Volumes : Garage, Kitchen/Dining, Living/Reading, Sleeping/Hygiene, Writing/Working, Nature/Reading, Nature/Dining All the volumes are connected by a 2 feet shift in elevation that creates both moments of union and divide at the same time.
