Location: 1 Blucher Street
Construction type : Full brick
Site area: 350m2
Owners objective: Subdivision of yard
Duration of construction: 14 months – in conjuction with front house construction
Completion date: June 2011
Having already started construction of their family home to the front portion of their land, the owners subdivided the rear yard for this freestanding house with its own address & street frontage.
So close to the ocean, the sandy foundation needed screw piles to stiffen its concrete slab supporting its full brick structure. A minimalist style with natural stone floors indoor & out, including bathroom walls, give that Mediterranean feel while large semi-commercial glass ensure full view of the park & nearby bay, at the same time maximizing north & south natural light.
