Gail and Joe Adams designed and built this compact building as a live-and-work environment. Cubic in proportion, faced with brick and steel siding, the two- and three-story building is both a freestanding house and an exemplary mixed-use urban building, demonstrating the feasibility of combining dwelling and work-place in an existing residential neighborhood.
