Located on 7th Street and East Windsor Avenue, just North of Downtown Phoenix, Windsor House has carved itself into the fabric of the surrounding community. The site is home to eight, two thousand square foot single family units perfect for the average 3 to 4 person family. Each unit is a partially subterranean space that provides an escape from the harsh heat of the Southwest,
each under a habitable dome roof. Windsor House explores the idea of a free-flowing space where landscape and structure are integrated seamlessly. The meaning of dwelling gives way to a sense of belonging, as an individual and as a community. At Windsor House, there is an emphasis on community which is possible by providing a space

where every square foot is habitable. Those who call this unique complex home can relax in their private space flooded with natural light from the transparent facade or enjoy the fresh air on their grassy roof. The space also features a natural barrier to the East which provides a separation from the surrounding area while still fostering a free flowing atmosphere.
