THE OPPORTUNITY
A modern three-story home in the trees, with a rooftop deck.
A new single-family home on a wooded site in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan, assembled from three platted lots. Substantial consideration was made to response to the site limitations and context. The compact three-story design puts a garage and workshop at ground level, open living, kitchen, and dining space on the first floor, and three bedrooms on the second, with a full basement below and a rooftop deck above the tree line to minimize the disturbance of the wetland. It offers 2,565 SF of living space.
DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
The home was designed by an affiliated design firm on a small footprint that preserves the surrounding trees and wetland areas. The three lots were combined into one building site, and the home is sold on completion.
