The Canal House

Designed by CharlesGrantArchitecture

The Canal House. 650 SQ. FT. residential concept design in Delray Beach Florida. Designed my 7th semester at the University Of Hartford. My inspiration behind the design came from the concept of creating a compact but open and inviting Southern Florida beach house. The Canal House focuses on creating unique gathering spaces, making use of the spaces created by the shape of the building. The Canal House features a prominent sun-screen preventing excessive light on the southern building facade. The screen design allows for different light to access the interior space upon the different positions of the sun throughout the day.
