We designed the BSB Laneway House to fit a narrow (7.6m / 25’) lot and achieve 3 goals: 1. Maximize interior living space; 2. Preserve privacy between the suite and its existing neighbours; and 3. Meet all bylaws without relaxations. The massing follows the side and height chamfering setback rules, leaving us with some creative solutions to fit everything in. We stacked 2 of the 3 parking stalls within a single-wide garage using a lift & pit system for any-time access to either vehicle. Next to the garage is the third stall, which recesses the entry away from the lane and can double as a patio. The main floor hosts the front entry and master suite, both filled with natural light from the perimeter transom windows that are high enough to limit sight lines to/from neighbours. Linear millwork closets provide ample storage and concealed utilities. The upper level is a wide-open floor plan, perfect for entertaining. Skylights and large windows at either end flood the space with light throughout the day. The raised kitchen and dining space leads out to the rooftop terrace above the garage. There’s even an optional basement for even more usable space and storage!

We created an almost crystalline form that reflected the push and pull of the most important factors on the site: views directly to the NNW, an approach from the ESE, and of course, sun from direct south. To keep the size modest, we peeled away the excess spaces and scaled down any rooms that desired intimacy (the bedrooms) or did not require height (the pool room). Photographer credit: Irvin Serrano

Shou Sugi Ban black charred larch boards provide the outer skin of this extension to an existing rear closet wing. The charred texture of the cladding was chosen to complement the traditional London Stock brick on the rear facade.

Doerr Architecture's design of this green modern Denver, Colorado house was inspired by the curved forms of the client's ceramics. With its dynamic vaults made with arched beams, this contemporary residential design expresses an unfolding, or emergence. With its extensive and properly shaded southern windows and thermal mass created by existing masonry encased in excellent insulation, the Finch House passive solar addition and remodel won the Denver Mayor's Design Award. This residential design is featured in architect Thomas Doerr's book “Passive Solar Simplified: Easily design a truly green home for Colorado and the West”.
