Lemoyne House

A 3-bedroom 2-bath house on a lush 1/2-acre urban lot. The design revisits the logic and intimacy of the California ranch house, with entrance across a bridge and outdoor deck into a living room suspended in the trees; stairs then move down through the house clockwise and into the hill. This layout maximizes a connection to the outdoors, which is treated as a series of accompanying rooms. The central breezeway is the spine of the home, oriented to capture the prevailing wind direction and reduce the need for artificial cooling.
