THE LOCUST HOUSE

Embraces the context of the neighborhood through material, scale, and preserving an existing locust tree. The home has a strong masonry base, a crisp steel structured front porch, with a subordinate second floor that allows the home to comfortably blend with the existing homes. The second-floor geometry shifts and changes material which is largely necessitated by the canopy of the tree, but the result is a very contextually scaled home from the street. While the home is modest at the street, the openness and expression of form and materials is notably bolder and more modern at the rear courtyard.
