The scheme shifted in Round 02, employing the Shed Roof to avoid common water issues associated with a Flat Roof. Despite possible issues, the roof patios remained due to the added value of occupiable exterior space. Ultimately, exploring the prioritization of different constraints, such as Garage, Shed Roof, and ADA, resulted in a form that accomplishes more than the required program. The Garage placement initiated programming and massing decisions, leading to a house exploiting the given constraints to shape exterior areas unique within the neighborhood.
