Spanning 1,280 square feet, the Modern Contemporary Two-Story Home utilizes a compact 20-foot width and 32-foot depth to maximize site utility on narrow urban lots. The exterior architecture prioritizes clean lines and geometric proportions, anchored by a 4:12 roof pitch and a maximum building height of 20 feet 10 inches. This design efficiently organizes living space across two levels to deliver a high density of utility within a minimal footprint.
The first floor provides 640 square feet of heated area, oriented around an open-concept core. A central kitchen serves as the primary axis, equipped with an expansive island and an integrated eating bar that maintains sightlines into the adjacent keeping and family room. A walk-in pantry is positioned for efficient supply management, while a half bathroom is situated on this level to support common living zones without encroaching on private areas.
The second level encompasses an additional 640 square feet, dedicated primarily to sleeping quarters. The master suite features a private bathroom and a walk-in closet, providing separation from the two secondary bedrooms. A shared full bathroom serves the upper level, while the inclusion of a second-floor laundry area centralizes utility tasks near the bedrooms to reduce traffic between floors.
Structural integrity is maintained through a combination of stick and truss roof framing, supporting the 4:12 roof pitch design. Throughout both levels, 8-foot ceiling heights provide consistent vertical proportions. The layout excludes complex corridors, relying on a direct circulation path that enhances the efficiency of the 1,280 square foot interior.
