LIS RESIDENCE
The project shown here is the LIS Residence (short for Long Island Sound). Sitting on the very tip of a peninsula, this plot has stunning 270° views of the sound but lies at the end of a densely populated road. This relationship forms the basis of a design concept that divides the house into a solid, private side (facing the neighbors) and a porous, open side facing the sound. In this section, I'll cover some of these lessons such as: developing a concept, collaborating with various professions, managing edge cases, and ultimately delivering a final project.

The dichotomy of transparency and opacity
The experiences I've had as an architect continue to form the foundation of my understanding and practice of design. There is nothing more human-centric than architecture. Architecture is about performing a program with regards to a persons body, background, habits, and relationships. This obsession with the relationship between design and user is fundamental to both good architecture and UX design/development, and many lessons can carry over from one practice to another, forming a solid foundation for design.
