With an east-west orientation, the narrow
30-foot lot extends 120 feet in depth.
Rather than occupying the full width, the
architect opted for a footprint that allows
for an open passageway adjacent to the
southern façade. This approach preserves
the privacy of the main entrance while
also distinguishing the project from
the densely built, shoulder to shoulder
neighbouring homes.
In order to facilitate eventual wheelchair
use, a smooth level surface connects the
city sidewalk, the parking space and the
main entrance.
