Perlman Residence This addition consists of two new forms that rotate to define an entry courtyard that draws you into the house. Glass becomes the connecting element between the new and the existing structures allowing light to spill into the interior space.
THE PROCESS
PERLMAN RESIDENCE The project is a 462 sq. ft. addition The most logical location for the addition was in the front yard due The existing house becomes a neutral backdrop as the new roof lines & building forms rotate to define a courtyard and create a sense of movement in contrast to At the living room, the roof is to a concrete block wall that stretches across the front facade. This wall extends beyond the bedroom to define the entry courtyard. The study alcove, a few steps above the bedroom level, is perched on the wall and rotates another 5 degrees. It is a small, mostly translucent glass enclosure with the exception of an operable window facing west and a glass wall facing the courtyard. |
