Architecture within the city

Urban Infill

Thoughtful housing for established neighborhoods, small parcels, mature trees, and demanding regulatory envelopes.

An infill site asks several questions at once. How much can be built? Where do vehicles belong? What should face the street? How do privacy, light, trees, and neighborhood scale work together? This collection explores narrow homes, interior courtyards, contemporary forms, and traditional street-facing houses within established neighborhoods.
