It made each tart-display table be stair-like and inside floor for staff be sloped.

Home for Three Households / Fujiwaramuro Architects

December 28, 2017 Daniel Tapia 0

The clients, a married couple, approached us with a request to tear down and rebuild their grandmother and uncle’s house so that they could move in together. The design enables family members spanning four generations—the clients, their children, their grandmother, and their uncle—to live under one roof while also establishing three separate households. The design process began with some doubts as to whether it would be possible to create a multi-generational residence on the relatively small lot. After considering both a two-story and a three-story design, we settled on a three-story structure with a steel frame.
