This small affordable home was designed and built as part of Tulane University’s URBANbuild program. The house was designed to function as either a duplex or a single family home. The flexible floor plan allowed for easy conversion between these options and was intended as a prototype that could be easily replicated in other similar infill sites. The front of the house faces due west, necessitating a shading system. The custom designed sliding shades create a dynamic play of light while also mitigating the hot afternoon sun.
The selected design was authored by Ben Feiger and Francke Wurzlebacher and was built by a group of 12 students. This project served as one of Ben’s first experiences designing and building a custom home.
