To work within a modest budget to provide a residence for a family of four on a relatively tight, wooded, suburban lot, which fortunately, is adjacent to a small suburban park. In order to reduce costs, the building was designed to both fit on the land as a single object with a minimum of surface area, and to orient all of the living spaces toward the adjacent park. After resolving the plan issue related to the nature of "family," we endeavored to reveal the order and structure of the building by developing a set of details that displayed both the skin and bones of the building.
