ROW HOUSE:
Practical Repetitive Studio Study
Spring 2021
Tucson, Arizona
This project focuses on the notion of the multiplied unit that is both practical and cost-efficient, while remaining aesthetically pleasing. It explores the boundaries of public and private spaces through its open floor plan that utilizes the service areas and accompanying furniture to create the allusion of seperate rooms.
The Row House is a compact studio home deliberately designed in under 800 sq ft. It focuses on natural lighting, the practicality of privacy, and the relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces. The courtyard combines each of these elements by exploring the contrasting qualities between indoor and outdoor spaces as they change with the daily fluctuation of light, resulting in varying levels of privacy. For simplification of design, the kitchen, bathroom, and closet are grouped together in plan.
