Description
This project, located in Lawrenceville outside of Pittsburgh, looks at two housing units that are connected by a workspace. The house being looked at specifically is planned for a two parent and two children family.
The main point to look at in this house is the way in which privacy is addressed, as it runs adjacent to the street. Utilizing an angled wall as well as louvers, the house is able to have a large window to bring in light while still managing to bring the window further back as well as create privacy for the family.
