Groveland House

Situated in an old East Dallas neighborhood, the client purchased two lots at a DEA auction. The existing house is used for a rental property, while the existing garage was converted to a home office.
​
The new house, built on the remaining 50'x150' lot was conceived of as way to enhance a connection to the site.
​
The client, an avid gardener, challenged us with the problem of how to live on the entire site. This desire, coupled with a modest budget, necessitated a small footprint.
​
At 1450 sf the house lives much larger than that due to it's connection to the outdoors and the thoughtful use of natural light.
