In fußläufiger Entfernung zum historischen Stadtzentrum entsteht ein Ensemble aus einem Mehrfamilienhaus und zwei Doppelhäusern. Trotz der hohen Verdichtung erlaubt eine Tiefgarage, an die auch die beiden Doppelhäuser angeschlossen sind, hochwertig begrünte und attraktive Gebäudezwischenräume. Energetisch ist das Ensemble als 0-Energie-Komplex konzipiert. Von Anfang an berücksichtigte Solarpaneele, nicht nur auf den Dächern sondern auch in der Fassade, tragen dies selbstbewusst nach außen. Eine differenzierte Fassadengliederung, ungewöhnliche Balkon- und Loggienausbildungen schaffen Zonierung und Wertigkeit und heben das Projekt aus der Beliebigkeit sonstiger Geschosswohnungsbauten und gleichförmiger Doppelhäuser mit Doppelgaragen heraus. Hier dominiert nicht das Auto, sondern die für Menschen konzipierten und begrünten „Zwischenräume“. Die historisch-farbige Altstadt wird abgewandelt in Form eines Farbkonzeptes mit diversen Pastelltönen aufgegriffen.

Our client purchased a disused lakefront residential plot on the border between Euclid and Willowick, Ohio. They asked Architecture Office to design a weekend retreat for them that emphasizes its striking view of Lake Erie. This two-story vacation home opens to a breezeway that provides cross-ventilation and airflow to the second floor’s kitchen and living area. On the ground floor, the master bedroom features an en suite bathroom and walk-in closet. A storage space that is accessible from the house’s exterior sits behind this closet. A second bedroom—intended for Airbnb guests—features an en suite bathroom, closet and separate entrance. A staircase ascends from the breezeway to a combined living area and kitchen. This open space is anchored by a twelve foot window that faces Lake Erie. The house is oriented perpendicular to Lake Erie to optimize views of the lake from the master and second bedrooms. We refurbished a previously existing deck on the property to incorporate it into the site. A gravel driveway leads to a space cleared to accommodate a garage at a future date. The house is clad in horizontal corrugated aluminum siding to provide a minimalist aesthetic. The cladding and a standing seam metal roof protects the house from frequent storms and high winds off the lake.

The unsual setting of the property on a hill in Kingston, along with tricky planning considerations, meant that we had to achieve a space split into different floor levels and with an irregular shape. This allowed us to create diverse spaces inside and out maximizing the natural light ingress on the east and south whilst optimizing the connection between internal and external areas. Vaulted ceilings, crisp finishes, minimalistic lines, modern windows and doors, and a sharp composite cladding resulted in an elegant, airy, and well-lighted dream home.
