Set within a tree-filled neighborhood on a relatively flat site, and bordering a forest with a creek, HOSA House is both unexpected and adaptive. Designed in an Agrarian-modernist vernacular, and set apart from the neighboring Cape Cods; this house seeks to provide flexible and open spaces for multiple uses. The program includes accommodation for outdoor gatherings and activities, a blended kitchen-dining room that also serves as a library, a sunken family room that is surrounded by mature trees, guest toilet and mud room, additional shower room on the second floor with two additional sleeping rooms, and a primary suite for the Owners on the first floor. The building is designed over a crawl space with additional storage capabilities.

HOSA House is not your everyday domestic architecture. It is, however, an articulation of spaces in which the lives of the owners and their desired functions are celebrated, curated, and will continue to evolve.
