Craft is central to this project, once the home of a guitar maker and potter. The brief was to combine a warehouse and adjacent workers cottage into a single family home.
A unique sculptural solution resolved the challenges of a narrow site, resulting in a light filled family oasis. The simple linear plan allows the wedge-shaped circulation spine to access all rooms on both levels.
Terrace House is the result of past Austin Maynard Architects clients, staff and allies putting their own money at risk to create community-focused homes that are equitable, ethical, cost-effective, robust and resilient in the face of the growing climate crisis.
