Weathering St(ee)L House
4 of 32
The shorter elevation matches the sizes of, and aligns with, the neighboring historic row housing, with a concrete foundation apron referencing the nearby limestone foundations. A large chunk of salvaged concrete, unearthed during site excavation, has been re-purposed as a public stoop. To accentuate the rectangular form, the roof slightly slopes behind a three-sided parapet, pitched towards the side-lot portion of the double-wide lot, with a 3-foot overhang. A bold, blue sliding door provides side-yard access to the more utilitarian, private side of the project.
