1999, Dillon Kyle and Grace Pierce. 2214 Branard Ave.
Kyle and Pierce, with their client Christopher Knapp, designed and built this house as an experiment: to find out if there was a market for a well-designed, meticulously finished small house that respected the scale of the older neighborhood in which it was built. The one-story, seventeen-hundred-square-foot house is an elongated T in plan, with a living/dining/kitchen area in the center and a bedroom at each end. All rooms open to garden courts shielded from the street by an extension of the front wall of the house, which is faced with St. Joe brick.
