The Raleigh Architecture Company 

Location: Raleigh, NC

The BB Residence unites an engaged couple together after years of living in separate houses on the same block. The project's challenges were an abundance of program, restrictive corner lot set backs, and the aging-in-place stipulation to maximize ground floor program elements. The design response extends the footprint within the set back boundaries, stacking additional program above, and joins the combined households through form with a wrapping roof. Shared public area connects the separate programs through light filled, double height space and opens to a modest, private courtyard. Two houses join under one roof.
