Mr. Taylor and Mr. Walsh want for their 1800 square foot home in Charleston, South Carolina to evolve with them as they age- the spaces needs to meet accessibility standards for their current and future needs. The space should include wheelchair accessibility, suitable lighting, and other features that improve the ease of use. The couple seeks to display their interests of movie watching and nature photography, as well as music and fine art. They have also requested ample space for dinner parties and an outdoor patio to birdwatch and enjoy the South Carolina landscape. Mr. Walsh requests space for developing his own film prints and Mr. Taylor requests a spacious kitchen to cater to his bread baking.

Concept Statement

A cup of coffee is warm in both hue and in feeling, inviting and earthy; a perfect drink for comfort. The 123 Park Overlook home will embody these characteristics by establishing a connection to the outdoors through the use of organic materials, and with an open plan that provides abundant natural light and clear sightlines to the outdoors. The space will have honesty of material throughout and feel extracted from the earth. Overall the design will become an extension of the environment and foster the relationship of man and nature, providing an environment of refuge and comfort.
