    The design proposes a two-family home with identical floor plans rotated 180 degrees to maximize efficiency. Each unit prioritizes outdoor space, including a garden, roof terrace, and ground-level patio. Sustainable features like solar panels, rainwater collection, cross-ventilation, and geothermal cooling are incorporated. The shared stairwell and great room concept optimize interior space while maintaining privacy between units.

    Our design for the MIR Two-family home began with the initial community

    feedback meeting and a study of the local typologies and proposed program. Of
    the components of local vernacular, the majority of the community expressed a
    desire for quality outdoor space, especially the garden.
    Starting with this initial desire, two story solutions were explored to reduce the
    overall footprint of the built structure, which would maximize available garden
    area, and potentially reduce foundation costs. Several basic diagrams for
    program organization were studied falling into two basic categories side by
    
       
       
       
      
      
    the interior spaces, and a better proportioned single garden for each house.
    The front to back organization maximizes privacy for each house, as the
    area/length of common wall is reduced.
    The two-story front to back diagram led to additional outdoor amenities that

    for each house. Rooftop solar panels, rain water collection from the terraces,
    sun shading, cross ventilation, and geothermal cooling are additional sustainable strategies that have been incorporated into the design.
    Each house maintains an entry on the street frontage on opposite sides of the
    lot. The front house is entered through the front garden with a stair case conveniently located adjacent to the parking.

    A partially covered staircase leads to the front porch, which overlooks the
    garden. One enters the house into the central great room, using an open plan for

    separation of the kitchen area without a wall. A short corridor off of the living

    identical to the front house.
