Nicknamed “The Box”, The Cox House delivers a variety of spatial configurations within an economical, rectilinear floor plan.

Upon entering the Main Living Area, one is confronted with a heroic vaulted volume and hovering mezzanine, above an open, galley-style chef’s kitchen. Beyond the kitchen is the 550sf Master Suite with luxury fixtures and finishes. Upstairs is a 230sf loft space (open to below) and two large bedrooms which share a Jack-and-Jill bath,

The stark, white interior helps to emphasize the geometry as surfaces change throughout the day depending on shadows cast through several mature Oak trees.

Unlike the traditional single-family dwelling, where similar size spaces are sequenced around hallways, The Cox House treats the entire gable volume as a singular space, containing 3 private bedroom volumes within and leaving the residual area to be determined by the owner, infinitely flexible and beautiful.
