Madison Residence, USA

The goal of the Madison Residence project was to break conventional notions of what we “need” in a house and design for the clients specific lifestyle.

KEM STUDIO went through a comprehensive research process to define the parameters of the project, analyze the clients lifestyle and develop a clear idea for the project.

The big idea centered around three principles:
1) To be modern, minimal and sustainable: focus on the experience with volume, light and interactions more than square footage.
2) To emphasis the interaction of the house with the site and hillside: draw from the owner’s rural background and her unconventional, creative interpretations.
3) To be super efficient: the budget is very modest and the clients desire is to have very little waste, a high level of sustainability and low maintenance.

The design met those goals and responded to her lifestyle as a writer, musician, runner, cinephile and creative spirit. Functionally it translates into a 1,200 sf, 2 bedroom, 2 bath home on a modest budget.
