EKh HOUSE
Chicago, IL

The project is located on the north side of Chicago near Wrigley Field. Simple volumes and an open plan allows for maximum natural light as well as having an open floor plan. The 12 foot ceilings give the house a sensation of spaciousness and a play of different scales. From entering the house to the kitchen and master bathroom, all of the spaces have access to direct sun light through wrapping glass facades, skylights and light-wells. The reflecting pool directs more light into the kitchen and living room giving the first floor a calm atmosphere. The living opens up completely to the exterior by the use of a glass garage door for part of the façade. Fritted glass patterns maintain privacy and the entire house is ecologically friendly thru the use of eco-materials, heating and cooling. The frame and shell of the house are made of pre-manufactured structurally insulated panels and the entire shell will be constructed in 2 weeks. The project is currently in Design Development and has a budget of $350,000.
