42 CHEYNE WALK

Designed by E. Lutyens in London, UK. Rendered and hand drafted by Quinn Ruff. This project was extremely beneficial in preparation to design our very own residential houses.

I was drawn to study 42 Cheyne Walk because of the unique floor plan and simplistic ornamentation Lutyens uses. Although Lutyens uses minimal ornamentation, this design is very unique.

SUBURBAN COUNTRY HOUSE

This proposal was for a family of a Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence. This house sits on a larger lot located in Baltimore, Maryland.

After studying our precedent houses, it was important to understand the priority and use of larger rooms and the circulation for private/public. I knew I wanted an open atrium where I could devote sculpture dedicated to the Declaration of Independence.

By studying Lutyens and Shutzye, I learned that less ornamentation can be more especially in a proposed neighborhood like this. I knew I wanted a grand portico on the front and garden front to show importance to public and where the main entrances were. This house is designed to be roughly 13,500 sq ft.
