With the backyard now a usable green space, this house accommodates a double carport and garage below the main living quarters of the house at the front of the lot, eliminating the need for a lengthy driveway. The garage creates a split-level concept, with four stories at the back of the house and three at the front.
The main living quarters are slightly elevated above street level, allowing sun into the south-facing facade while maintaining privacy within the dwelling. At the rear, the main living quarters extends into the backyard with large window and door openings. The top floor master suite overlooks the rooftop patio half a story below while maximizing on desired solar gain.
