Lafayette Residence is a family home in Ansley Park, Atlanta. The half acre lot, had previously been the site of an Apartment building that was lost to a fire.

New York architecture studio Dash Marshall has turned two Tribeca residences into one home – Raft Loft – connected by a hanging, blackened steel spiral staircase.

In the Salamanca house project we have moved the kitchen to the center of the house and we have eliminated most of the corridor linking the rooms and suppressing partition walls. The distinction between spaces has been made with furniture.
