Architecture Design of Inverse House

Description About The Project

Stunning renovation project recently made by Matt Fajkus Architecture in Texas, called Inverse House is impressive house. This home challenges the typology of an ordinary two – story house by inverting the relationship between public and private. Also, the design of Inverse House reimagines the existing house’s main features as their opposites. The gable roofline became a butterfly. The public kitchen and dining areas swapped locations with the private owners’ suite. Formerly indoor space became an outdoor patio. Indeed, these inversions recast a formerly dark, segmented interior into a clean-lined, open plan, characterized by dynamic natural light.

Natural materials inside and out ground the home’s human scale and tactile experience. While minimal details provide a canvas for light and frame views to the hills beyond. Besides, homeowner’s association guidelines required mostly opaque stone party walls on two sides of this stunning renovation house. Hence, bring in natural light became the experiential driver for the design. Invert the gable roof allowed clerestory windows to be added on the East and West sides of the house, bring sunlight deeper into the footprint. In addition to this, the interior functions of the home were pulled away from the exterior walls to create light wells that serve as both interior circulation spaces and exterior living areas.

The Architecture Design of this Stunning Renovation Project Information:

On the exterior, light colored limestone walls define the locations of existing exterior walls and a datum from which springs new roof and wall geometries clad in dark metal panel and glass.

First, the common living, kitchen, and dining areas are elevated to the second floor while private family spaces are tucked below.
