Row House Design 3 | Fall 2021
The Row home project was the first project to introduce a real client. The basis for this project was choosing a location in Sharswood, Philadelphia, and designing a home for this client based on their wants and needs. This semester was based on animation, which posed several challenges, but showcased another method to present a project. Link to animation: https:// youtu.be/yUZY6NB-NQQ
Studio Retreat, designed by Workshop APD, is originally located in Chappaqua, New York. Being only 300 sq ft, the small cabin focuses on the connection to the nature around it. The interior consists of just two rooms, with the majority being a living space, but also includes a small bathroom. The house has a large deck to further enhance the experience with nature. Even inside, that connection does not go away, with large, intricately designed, glass curtain walls wrapping around the front facade, creating an incredible view from the interior. The amount of wood utilized makes the house blend beautifully with its surroundings. The new location that this cabin rests is in Loyalsock State Forest. Specifically it is in a dense forest, with a great view overlooking the Loyalsock Creek. This location is a great getaway spot for peaceful silence and to connect with nature.
