The Prospect: A Private, Urban Residence with An On-Site Architecture Studio

The Prospect 10

Vacant since 1992, this lot was an abandoned brown-field site. Jonathan Segal Architect uses this lot to design a private, urban residence with an on-site architecture studio for his family. The boundaries in the Prospect are extended and dissolved to provide expansive views and transparency.

The modern main living area in this residence is surrounded by a large reflecting pool on one side and also a glass floor on the other. The office and recreation facilities can be found below grade, the place where the glass floor/ceiling allows ample natural light and liberates the residence space.
