A Mews House
A Mews House is the third smallest lot in the city of Atlanta, with a detached single-family residence built on it. The lot is a mere 20 feet wide, providing for a 14-foot-wide house even after special relief from vexing suburban zoning regulations (in an urban setting) was granted.
In a time when housing is becoming increasingly unaffordable, it is important to build more housing—period. This project showcases the critical role design can play in bringing new and innovative housing stock online.
Testing the premise that design drives economies, A Mews House is built as a spec house to show that elevated design can be profitable and possible in the competitive speculative residential market without public subsidies.
