The Threshold
This project reimagines an existing residence as a calm, supportive environment for an adult foster home. Within the constraints of the original envelope, the design balances openness with intimacy, light with shade, and public with private.
Resident rooms line the southwest edge, framing views of greenery and daylight, while circulation remains direct and intuitive. Shared spaces invite connection yet preserve privacy. A restrained material palette—anchored by cedar siding at the entry—creates a warm, tactile threshold, conveying dignity and comfort without excess.
