This custom residence is located in Dallas, Texas and was designed in a modern aesthetic to accommodate a “work from home” life style. Radical change to daily life has caused many to begin working from home in makeshift offices. This home was designed to allow an individual or family the flexibility of an auxiliary space, separated by a solarium style hall from the main house, this auxiliary space can be used as an office or as an in-law suite. With this flexibility, ample separation from living spaces, and the use of a solarium as a transition between work and home the occupants now have a clearly defined separation between the different aspects of their lives. The genius of this design does not stop there, as it also introduces an aspect of psychology into the transition. The separation of spaces in combination with access to the natural surroundings allows the occupant to not only physically distance themselves from work, but also mentally as they have clearly a defined passage between work spaces and living spaces that allows them to make connections to the outside world as they move through the solarium. This psychological separation helps to greatly reduce occupational fatigue or burnout by adding another layer of separation from work life and home life. Other aspects of this home also work to connect the occupants with the outdoors and the other individuals they share lives with. Designing the home around the idea of fostering social connections rather than device usage though a blending of the indoors and outdoors, and pairing that with an intentional limiting of how spaces and rooms could accommodate large televisions. Designed for “infill” city lots, this home is situated on a 50’ wide, 120’ deep urban lot found to be an almost standard in Dallas, and modern life with a dedicated work from home space, a open concept layout, and indoor/outdoor living on the first floor.
