703 Wickford remodel

andyux | September 21, 2008

The Concept

This is a major addition to a one story residence, modern, blending in with the tress and Austin’s Mac Mansions laws. It also provides a chimney design for the least use of AC using natural ventilation.

Development


Hard to get the whole picture, lots of trees around.


Preserving all the trees was one major aspect of the design.


The angles meet the street and parallel the house next door, which will undergo a similar renovation.


The inside chimney, provide lots of ventilation and heat escape.


Second floor, open to below and above.


Tree house in the city.
