The 1400 square foot Composite House has the accommodations for a private business, an accessible bedroom and bathroom, a two-family house, or a three bedroom single-family home, whichever fits the individual needs of the owner. The idea of four unique and versatile spaces is physically represented by the material qualities of the house (brick, siding, glazing, and concrete). The front of the house is raised on its foundation to provide privacy. For accessibility purposes, the topography of the property slopes to an at-grade side entrance for wheelchair users. The entire first floor is accessible to accommodate most disabilities.
