Lucid Architecture Mercer Residence

Description

Looking for light-filled interior spaces, the Mercer Drive Residence is designed for clients that love to entertain.  This home is conceived as two well-defined spaces.  The sleeping and support spaces are in one tidy black brick box.  The public spaces of the home – entry, stair, kitchen, dining, and living – are housed within the other box defined by perimeter glazing and a soaring roof The design took this into consideration as well as noted the traditional brick homes that are typical to the area. Solid brick walls with careful consideration to the punched opening locations make up the home’s side walls for privacy.  Beautiful interior spaces will flow out to the exterior to the north and south only through expansive windows and opening walls.  The floating roof with its long reach extends that focus outward with seamless continuation.  Achieving a warm minimalistic feel, wood is implemented on the floors, ceilings, and soffits to contrast an otherwise all white interior. Double cantilever roof, masonry brick finish, modern curtain wall glass, zero-step barrier free design
