Nussbaum De La Rosa Home

To define the spaces of this semi-urban infill home, our clients asked for plenty of exposed concrete walls. We began the design process with a perfectly square black metal box that we cut into, sliced 127 feet of 10’ tall concrete walls through, and carved spaces, niches, nooks, and crannies out of. A flat roof plane with a wood ceiling cuts through the entire affair, offering a carport to start with, an entry, raised main living spaces, and a covered terrace in the backyard. To meet their contemporary concerns, we ensured to provide elegant home-office and craft-studio nooks. They placed them adjacent to the common spaces, easily hidden by room-high sliding panels.
