MAN SARD HOUSE AN EXPLORATION OF THE MANSARD ROOF AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING WITH NORTHSIDERS ENGAGED IN SUSTAINABLE TRANSFORMATION
The Mansard Roof. Love it or hate it, it is iconic, with the roof creeping down into the walls, and the dormers shooting out of its steep slope. But, when examined closer, the intense emotions it invokes often acts as the forehead tattoo of the house, leaving all but the roof immemorable. This idea of the mansard as a shield became the biggest driver of the design, resulting in an almost faux faรงade with few openings, protecting the average and exposed back elevations. In addition, the dormers morphed from an element strictly interacting with the roof into a vertical projecting through the mass, affecting the plan, section, and elevation.

PHYISCAL MODEL (SECTIONAL)
These constraints created a building designed from the roof down, with a variety of interior spaces and a private side yard. The interior spaces vary in height, from eight feet in the kitchen and dining, to eighteen in the living room. The first floor is ADA accessible, with everything a visitor would need, with two bedrooms on the second floor. The building form, a rectangle, is versatile enough to fit into different shaped lots. This design also provided research to the studio about the use of a Mansard Roof and how it affects interior spaces.
