We’ve had a recent fascination in our office with tower houses because of 2 new designs we are working on… For both projects, our goal is to minimize footprint and maximize view. The schematic designs have evolved into an aesthetic similar to an extruded cube, so you may notice that theme in our inspiration images below. We also shared a lot of
