Mujcin Residence

Yellowknife, Northwest Territories

Completion in 2012

Hamlet of Pond Inlet is constructing a new 216 m² (2,325 ft²) Teen Centre. The client wanted a 2 storey, 3 bedroom single family home on an odd shaped lot.  The design morphed from a typical gable roof concept to a modern look, partially due to site limitations.  Expectations were surpassed as the building’s programming developed to include various amenity features; such as an exterior projecting staircase that leads to a flat roof patio. In an effort to maximize the floor area ratio (FAR), the shape took on a box-like form.  The direction I took was to maintain clean lines with a contemporary look and feel.
