“Four Floor”

This house serves four young adults who depend on privacy for recharging and socialization for community. Similar to its precedent, Casa Poli, the home functions on two systems involving a core of voids that orient residents and stablize fragmented floors. The first floor is dominated by “shoots” running East and West, encourging movement through the house from street to alley. The top floors’ shoots run North to South, reorienting the residents into a space seperated from the city enviornment below. Verical shoots help ground the two halves of the split upper levels, as the front unit wraps around its void and the back sits on its corner. This organizes the front’s sharable, flexible qualities and the back’s more private, structured functions.
