CRITICS: PETER DE BRETTVILLE, AMY LELYVELD, ALAN ORGANSCHI, JOEB MOORE, HILARY SAMPLE _ PROJECT IN COLLABORATION WITH LESLIE GOEDKEN, ISAIAH KING, ERIC KRANCEVIC, NINA LIU, MIEKO OKAMOTO, KAREN RIZVI, MATTHEW ROMAN, ZAKERY SNIDER, MEGHAN SPIGLE _ SPRING 2007 _ YALE UNIVERSITY

The Building Project is something unique to Yale in which first-year students design a house in teams, one is chosen, and the students spend the summer constructing it. This project called for the design of a house in New Haven for a family of three (portion required to be accessible) and a separate renter. The project turns programmatic restrictions into design opportunities. The efficiency of the plan grows from the need for a clear distinction between owner and tenant spaces, both public and private. The house draws the occupants in from the street onto a shared deck. The owner’s spaces are arranged around a central spine, giving visual and physical access to both front and back while making the outdoor spaces as a significant part of the experience inside. The tenant apartment is designed in section, creating a dramatic connection between the living and kitchen space on the ground floor and the bedroom and study on the second level.
