The floor plan accommodates six as a cabin, or two as residence. The central public room is a transformable and open space, that eliminates the need to build separate rooms for specific activities. While this requires more work for the occupants, it dramatically reduces the energy and resources it takes to build and maintain the home.
The E.D.G.E. home features a simple footprint with a fully-integrated design that fits a lot of living space into a compact package. The glass on both sides creates a sense of transparency, projecting the living space outwards beyond the home’s walls. A sleek set of furniture runs the gamut from a brilliant transforming table to a bed, and bench. Rather than building a room around the furniture, the furniture is built around the room.
The home’s exterior is an exercise in restraint– with the louvers closed, the home takes on a monolithic form. With the louvers open, it becomes a balance of glass and screened walls. This video takes a look inside this remarkable house.
