THE LIVING CURVE
“The Living Curve” is a home on Terrell Mill Road for the couple David and Sally. The house is considered “Living” because of the form’s implementation with sustainability. The house appeals to all the needs and wants of its clients and gives every aspect of the house a purpose.

The Terrell Mill site provided plenty of opportunites with the downward sloping topography. Though there were many problems like the noise from the street and privacy from neighbors. I began sketching to find ways to solve these problems with the form of the house itself by pulling the roof from the topography and creating one continous move to define the spaces in the home.
The Spaces
The client wanted spaces where they can entertain guest while also having privacy. This design actively uses its roof as a place where the most public activies can happen. The external staircase allows the owners to entertain their guest without them ever entering their home
