Entry Description

The Cut Out House is a complete remodel of a Victorian built over a century ago and previously untouched since the 1920s.

To create a modern home, the existing interior structure had to be completely reorganized. Each floor is placed between three slots so that the home connects vertically rather than horizontally. By suspending floors, there is brightness and fluidity throughout the house. The back façade is canted over two stories to maximize volume and daylight.

By reconceptualizing the entire space and reversing the program orientation of the home, a traditional house is reinvented.
