Design a family home on a compact infill lot in Boise's historic North End that feels generous, light-filled, and private while respecting neighborhood character. The limited footprint required careful planning to support everyday family life without feeling constrained.
A modern farmhouse aesthetic was developed to align with the surrounding neighborhood while expressing a clean, contemporary sensibility. Large windows extend sightlines and bring abundant daylight into the home, making interior spaces feel larger than their footprint. An open main-level plan allows living, dining, and kitchen areas to flow together, supporting daily family use and entertaining. A central courtyard acts as an outdoor room, extending the living space while providing privacy from adjacent properties. Large sliding doors blur the boundary between indoors and outdoors, reinforcing openness without sacrificing seclusion.
A warm, efficient home that lives larger than its footprint. Open planning, abundant daylight, and a central courtyard create a highly livable family residence that contributes positively to Boise's North End while demonstrating how thoughtful design can make the most of a compact urban site.
