Urban Artist Residence.
The Urban Artist’s Residence is a two-level single-family residence comprised of 9,000 square feet of conditioned space, located in suburban Atlanta. The program includes open and interconnected living & entertaining spaces, four bedrooms, a fitness room, office and multi-level art studio. The program also includes outdoor living spaces that are intended to be used frequently, and include a living area, kitchen, dining area and pool.
All bedrooms have exterior covered terraces that overlook and engage the exterior spine. The kitchen has a large multi-slide window that allows one of the counters to open directly to a garden space and become an island between the spaces where food is cultivated and prepared. The main massing of the house is carved into the upwardly sloping site, utilizing a modular retaining wall system that incorporates planting into gaps between the units. All of these strategies are intended to create a meaningful and useful engagement between the site and the house.
