Houzz at a Glance

The house sits on a northeast corner, which pedestrians pass by on the way to the local train station and shopping strip. It’s also bounded by a rear lane on the north side of the property. “The project is a very specific response to the opportunities presented by the site and its location,” Wolkenberg says. The architect feels that this island-like condition results in the house being experienced in the round, despite its angular form.

“It is highly exposed to the neighborhood,” Wolkenberg says, “which suggested both an opportunity, but also a responsibility, for the house to contribute to the streetscape.”
