Location: Halifax North End, N.S.
Project: B2 Design proposal - Dalhousie
Typology: Residential
Completed: Winter 2025
This scheme has two primary objectives. 1: integrate two homes and a shared workspace within a somewhat narrow lot. 2: Create an environment that facilitates living and working, aging in place, as well as both communal interaction and privacy.
The house is intended to be occupied by a large intergenerational family, though the design allows for enough privacy that two unrelated clients can comfortably inhabit the units. The house comprises five zones: a family-oriented front house, a spacious primary courtyard, a quiet secondary courtyard, a secondary unit designed to facilitate aging in place, and a central studio space which acts as a mediator - allowing flow, or boundary - between the two units. A continuous stone spine, curved into the shape of an S, binds these 5 zones together. The transition house proposes a framework for bridging the gap between the different generations of a family and integrating living and working spaces onto one lot
