Habitat house

2016.  Tampa, FL

Conditioned Space: 1,250 s.f. 

Program: 3 Bedrooms, 2 baths, Kitchen, Laundry.

Designed as a new prototype for Habitat For Humanity Hillsborough Chapter.  The living space is open to an ample kitchen with plenty of storage space and allows bar seating between the kitchen and living spaces.  Ceramic floor tile is provided throughout for easy cleaning.  All sleeping spaces have a ceiling fan and light.  

The residence provides an covered entry which acts as an "outdoor room”.  This “room”, with its own “window”, has a wood deck under roof which folds as a wood veneer up the front of the space to give warmth and texture.  This entry has a vaulted ceiling which carries through into the dining and living rooms.  Behind a sliding barn door, a utility room offers a specific space for laundry tasks and more storage.  Square stepping stones in gravel, lead to colorful mid-century modern door, and a sleek light fixture and house numbers all give the curb appeal a modern touch.
