The Project
The 72nd Guest House was designed as a ground-up detached structure intended to complement the mid-century character of the existing historic 1959 Ralph Haver home while functioning as a fully independent living space.
The goal was to create a guest house that felt architecturally consistent with the main residence while maintaining its own identity within the property.
Design Vision
The design draws inspiration from classic mid-century architecture with clean geometry, simple roof forms, and strong connections between interior and exterior spaces.
Proportion, materials, and scale were carefully considered so the guest house would feel integrated with the existing home while appearing as a secondary structure.
Large openings and natural light help the compact footprint feel open and connected to the surrounding landscape.
Ground-Up Construction
The guest house was constructed from the ground up as a fully self-contained living space.
The layout includes an open living area, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom while maintaining a simple architectural profile consistent with mid-century design principles.
Materials and detailing were selected to complement the architecture of the primary residence while ensuring the guest house functions comfortably for visiting family or long-term guests.
