Concept

This is a modern single family residence designed for a family in Chicago’s southshore neighborhood. The family enjoys spending time with one another, however they also enjoy having small gatherings. With this in mind, I deisgned two living room spaces in the house, with the private family area being upstairs and closer to the family’s rooms. They also have two young children so the addition of a yard and biophilia was very important in the deisgn process. The concept is to use different sized geometries of the same shape to combine individual elements into one house. The main theme of the concept is hierarchy The floors are lofted with each increasing floor being set back further north. This project was inspired by trying to revitalize the southshore neighborhood into more desirable aesthetic housing.
