Twosome House is a designed for a family of five. Following in the tradition of Louis I. Kahn, floor plans are defined by precise regulating lines. Two axes divide the property into distinct zones, with rooms plotted according to their program. This organization of “public/private” & “servant/served” spaces establishes a clear sense of order throughout the home. While the house’s two-volume scheme organizes its program, it also has visual and environmental benefits. The rectangular western volume functions as a brise soleil, protecting the adjacent wing from both sun and wind.
