Situated in an old East Dallas neighborhood, the client purchased two lots at a DEA auction.  The existing house is used for a rental property, while the existing garage was converted to a home office.

​

The new house, built on the remaining 50'x150' lot was conceived of as way to enhance a connection to the site. 

​

The client, an avid gardener, challenged us with the problem of how to live on the entire site. This desire, coupled with a modest budget, necessitated a small footprint. 

​

At 1450 sf the house lives much larger than that due to it's connection to the outdoors and the thoughtful use of natural light. 

​

This project was completed while working with TKTR Architects.
