Ho Ho Kus Residence
This modern residence is the home of a physician and his family. They sought a design solution compatible with the principles of Feng Shui, an ancient Chinese system of aesthetics that reveals how to balance the energies of a given space to assure the health and good fortune of the inhabitants.
Two seemingly contradictory programmatic requirements were at play: the side yard zoning restrictions and the family’s desire to expand beyond the imposed limits.
To meet this challenge, Morpurgo Architects created interlocking spaces in a linear configuration that allows the family to gather in a large living area defined by bold, geometric shapes.
