This new building houses a wood shop/garage at ground level and a studio and roof deck above. The building has been split into two forms to decrease the size of the building mass and also to create additional outdoor spaces above and below the forms. The owners wanted a two story space in order to preserve limited backyard area but did not want an imposing two story structure that would dominate the rest of the yard space. The new structure and outdoor areas had to be tightly interwoven with the existing deck and yard to maximize the usefulness of the limited space.
