The Park BOX by PATH Architecture

The design balances access to natural light and views of the park with the need for privacy by offsetting floor to ceiling windows to the side of each room to wash light into the space while minimizing direct views into the space from outside. On the east unit the main floor window on the south side is located on large stair landing, providing for abundant light washing the interior demising wall between units. On the west unit, the same main floor window occurs at the corner of the unit, creating an opportunity for an oversized wrap around bay window seat. The entire building was pushed to the west on the site to preserve a large Douglas fir tree, providing an opportunity to extend a portion of the east unit out beyond the main volume of the box. This extra floor area made room to remove some of the second floor to create a double height space at the corner of the unit as well, allowing for more light and views to the park and trees nearby. the architects is PATH Architecture
