Design Statement: This residence was designed to be a college dorm house. There are seven girls sharing it, therefore it is spacious and there are three bedrooms (one for the resident assistant).

So the common room was created with a vaulted ceiling and made of glass to create a spacious feeling. Also, if a quiet place is needed there is an interior garden to seek refuge in. Although the buildings are within walking distance in this suburban college campus, some of the girls own cars and so a two-car garage is available.
