Contemporary House for Efficient Living
Ha-Smith House
A young couple with one child and with contemporary ideas for efficient living with few possessions were the inspiration for the design of this house. They were also explicit in requesting a modern, minimalist esthetic of concrete and glass construction.
Their city lot lent itself very naturally to dividing the house into north side private rooms and south side common space with the long axis of the house running east and west.
Starting with the clients values and requests, the house almost designed itself.
