Camelback Houses by GRAFT Architects

Share |

There are times when people should mingle within the neighborhood. Those kinds of situation were being carefully considered by GRAFT’s Make It Right (MIR) Project Designers when they came up with the Camelback houses — they all have a strong connection between the private interior zone and the shared public space on the street. Inspired by the cradle to cradle philosophy, the Camelback houses bring in a better environment, economical, and society combination. It’s the futuristic approach that got us sold in the first place.

A side door leads from the porch into an open living/dining/kitchen space. The lower unit has three bedrooms, which can be reconfigured into a two-bed/office layout. Solar panels and an efficiency unit occupies the second story, which has a large deck area that can be enclosed for private use or adapted to house a small garden. [via freshome] [...]
