A few rectanlinear forms in white stucco and white plaster interiors, this house is a study in space and framing. The house was built on a small budget and is relatively modest in size, yet in its simplicity, it seems alive with spatial possibilities. The Little House is largely inward looking, with most of the exterior views out to the backyard. Almost anonymous, the Little House benefits from its generic quality, yet doesn’t fall into banality. The house seems to be a careful study into the lives of the clients, meeting their everyday needs while not dominating them with an Architecture meant only to express that life. Instead the Architecture feels more like a support armature, an infrastructure for living.

It breath with ease (not an easy achievement) given the constraints, as Terry has pointed out. It tick all the boxes for me, especially the clients', no doubt. Even the pooches look super happy!

It is interesting to compare this house with the Dakota Residences in Seattle here published yesterday. Those residences, aimed at a similar kind of client, are each around 163 square meters + 2.6 times the size of this dwelling. Every FORM project I have seen has been poetic, appropriate, intricate, and delicate in all of the right ways. This house is really contained and content while using the site to its maximum effect. The facade, still a little bare of planting, could be something straight out of the Rue Mallet Stevens in Paris.

It is clearly plopped on top of a 3' thick slab with no intensions of hidding it. How the house meets the ground seems like a default, and painting the slab white just isn't cutting it. Forgive me if I am being too picky. that is all. nice subtle moves………. with the most boring facade ever, and a badly detailed one at that.

Does that ladder go to the second floor so the dogs don't? Kind of impractical for everyday use. Some nice moves, but this is overall pretty boring.
