Stratford Creek Rambler

Surrounded in nature, the Rambler provides the owners with a little more room to spread out and a space to disconnect and unwind.

Taking advantage of the steep site, the addition is set a full level below the house, providing a strong connection with the active creek below.

The roof of the addition becomes a large green living area and extension of the original wood deck. An outdoor shower gives the owners a spot to rinse off after a long run or bike at the nearby Lady Bird Hike and Bike trail.

Paring down the components of a house to a minimal amount of planes and openings, the scheme is anchored by an obscured entry sequence and a staircase volume, both clad in iron spot masonry. These plans act as thresholds between the respective realms of public, common and private, by minimal means.
