| This project presented the challenge of transforming a tight corner lot into a spacious layout that includes a bright, sunlit home, a screen porch for greeting neighbors, a more private rear courtyard, a separate guest apartment, two off-street parking spots, and a workshop. Our solution wrapped the spaces around this private backyard escape to insulate it from the active neighborhood. Strategic openings can be adjusted to fit any occasion. Inside the home, spaces flow around the courtyard in a clever sequence that can be configured to accommodate lively parties or multiple quiet conversations. A glass wall can join the screened porch to the dining room, and the dining table can extend into the great room. The ceiling drops over the kitchen to create a cozier setting and adjust the acoustics. The inherent flexibility of the layout ensures everyone feels at home, regardless of the size of the gathering. The arrangement of spaces adapts seamlessly to different occasions.
