RESIDENTIAL: MODERN

MODERN IN THE CITY

As urban architects we provide modern design where we can find it. This project is unique in that it encapsulates an existing small brick building into a larger new home. To save our construction budget we integrated the masonry spaces into the new program for the house. There are some instances where if you look closely one can find a brick wall here or there (architectural memory). When we think of home many of us have the vision of a house recessed back from the street …providing distance from public and the private space of home. This house does not have that opportunity, it is built adjacent to the sidewalk and the street so that the interior residential space has a stronger relationship with its St. Louis urban condition.
