CG House
Situated on a triple-wide lot in the Botanical Heights neighborhood of St. Louis, this 5-bedroom home exemplifies modern living in the city. From the street, the house is an abstractly modern nod to its neighbors. The utilization of brick speaks to the pervasiveness of the material in the city, while its overall form is unique yet familiar – the shape references the 3rd story mansard roof next door and in others nearby. The open plan around the double height core allows for the light and airiness of a city loft while still being practical to family living. Overall, the house operates as a machine for living, with each of its parts being functionally distinct while working together as a cohesive whole.
