The goal of this project was not to increase square footage or add amenities as is often the case in a remodel. Instead, the desire was to create a thoughtfully desired home with just enough space for the needs of the client. No more no less. An in-kind trade so to speak for the 1950s brick house that sat on the site.

Rather than delicately resting into the landscape, pretending that it could be easily dismantled in the future, House X embraces its invasive, almost parasitic nature. It fully integrates into the environment, aiming, through its abstract design and materiality, to become an inseparable part of the landscape.
