MOTOR SPEEDWAY BUNGALOWS

A study for high end rental housing adjacent to the Charlotte Motor Speedway. The goal of the designs was to root the houses in the historic Charleston vernacular. Often unique in their varied combinations of color, material, and roof form, the houses share a striking set of similarities. The strongest similarities lie in the integration of outdoor space within the overall volume and tripartite division of the facade.

The bungalow type was adapted to the specific requirements of this development, specifically the introduction of a two car garage and two main entry points. To reinforce our position that a neighborhood can be cohesive utilizing structures similar in size, proportion, and material, two versions seemingly at opposite ends of the style spectrum were created, one traditional and one modern.
