Referencing the historic masonry homes in the area, the exterior of Mohawk Street Residence features classic materials and refined detailing. The architecture and landscape were developed together to reinforce interior vistas and establish a series of rooms, inside and out, throughout the site. Generous green roofs and terraces expand this experience of the landscape beyond the ground level spaces of the home. The design maintains the established setbacks, cornice height, and windows of the neighboring buildings, while also making reference to the proportions of the Irish Georgian-style homes of the client’s heritage.
