As a follow up to last week's post on The Ecology Center's book, Backyard Skills: A D.I.Y. Handbook, we're officially sharing our favorite images of this project, taken after the project's completion in the fall of last year.
The other day, we picked up The Ecology Center's recently published book Backyard Skills: A D.I.Y. Handbook, a collection of projects, infographics, and practices inspired by last year's popular Basic Needs lecture series.
Building form is strongly influenced by the interior spaces- a client's program, the functional needs of that program, and any spatial requirements or preferences. Interior architecture is a critical component in the overall design of a building in order to provide for a complete and integrated experiences...
For this new residential project, lot-specific development standards and site constraints played a critical role in determining design opportunities and constraints.
This meant adjusting the design to efficiently maintain the established program components within these city-mandated guidelines, while still providing a high level of design integrity, as well as functionality.
We've been working on our a new construction residential design in Fullerton, CA. Early in the process, it's a valuable opportunity to address critical site design issues up front, during the schematic design phase.
Considering the unique topographic conditions of this particular location, site-specific analyses help to ensure the building orientation, overall massing and interior layout is responsive to solar and daylighting considerations.
