The intent of the Fargo House has a design of a contemporary house that maintains the character and feeling of the neighborhood. Though extremely small and narrow, the lot’s east-west long axis allows for ample sun exposure. The lower story aligns with neighboring homes preserving the historic street front, while the second story is recessed prioritizing the one-story scale for pedestrians. The partial second floor gave way to a rooftop deck increasing outdoor space and further integrating the landscape design.
