Cohen Davis Residence

This home was designed to provide privacy in a semi-urban neighborhood while maximizing daylight and ensuring energy efficiency. The challenge was to balance openness with seclusion. Additionally, the best natural light—southern light—came from the direction of the street. The solution involved creating walled exterior spaces combined with large glass expanses. A continuous flat roof with wide overhangs helped to provide shade and reduce solar gain. This design allowed the interior spaces to flow seamlessly into the outdoors, including a landscaped oasis in the rear, blurring the boundaries and enhancing a sense of spaciousness. The result is a home that offers twice the space in half the square footage, with ample glass, abundant sunlight, privacy, and outstanding energy efficiency.
