The Rock Creek House is an adaptive re-use project of a 1920?s brick structure that was originally composed of two floors, with a mechanical basement and attic. This adaptation leverages the robustness of the existing structure to capture the attic and basement to double the house?s size, while expanding its functions into the landscape.
