Entry Trot

A Dog-Trot is a vernacular Texan architecture, where a central passage, the "Trot", separates two cabins. When researching this project, it was found that the original cottage was this type of structure. Here, this vernacular form is given a contemporary intervention, where four "cabins" containing bedrooms, kitchen, and living room are separated by two intersecting "trots". This treatment is emphasized by the material palette: shiplap walls match the exterior treatment of the house, while floors and ceilings create a continuous surface between inside and out.
