Defining a threshold as a place where transformation begins, Peak House mediates defined and flexible spaces to comfortably accommodate the new homeowner in the near term and the needs of a growing, multi-generational family in the near future.
Since 1967, the Yale School of Architecture has offered its first-year M.Arch I professional degree students the unique chance to design and build a structure as part of their graduate education. This year’s site was situated near the 2020 Building Project House at the rear of the site, so our house effectively requires two front facades. One extends toward the street, and one extends towards last year’s project, enabling this home to assume an intermediary role between people and place. This design strategy acknowledges BP 2020’s “front-yard condition” and invites socialization and interaction.
