Georgia Ave is a new residence near the James River in Richmond. A tight city lot, this structure includes a two story residence connected to a Studio over garage with a screened porch with garden roof above. The open main space faces south with large windows and concrete floor for passive solar heating. The north side includes an open steel stairwell with skylight, which washes light down the two story wall for a sundial effect. The roof is set at an ideal angle and orientation for solar collection.
