The house is designed around a courtyard with the public spaces overlooking it. The varied scale of public and private spaces and their different interactions with the outdoors was a central idea of this project.

Restaurant and retail space totaling 10,000-square-feet anchor the Fourth Street retail spine of the new neighborhood.

The public housing sector shelters from the front to live with privacy and allied with nature. The limit of the house is the horizon of the landscape that the lot poses. The linear circulations are contained by their own exterior, the patios. They allow us to recreate the necessary privacy of each sector of the house.
