Davidson Residence

This is a two bedroom house with four attached screened-porches. The porches are protected with natural vinyl plastic sheets.
The house is designed with a series of adjustable planes to match the varying climate and supply ventilation. These adjustable planes are later replaced with floor-to-ceiling flush panel doors.
The main living space has a low vault with clerestory windows at each end.
The residence is featured in Architectural Record, November 1956.
The residence is renovated in 1986 and went through extreme modifications.
The house is sold on May 21, 2002 for $690,000 USD.
