BoSa is on a suburban property amidst the snarl of planning between downtown Raleigh and it’s largest suburb, Cary – a “leftover” site tucked between 1960s ranch houses, a newer speculative neighborhood, and a Buddhist temple.
Bounded by this jumbled context, the project creates a comprehensive world within for a young and growing family. The site design, landscape, and orientation of openings connecting the house and site are shaped to create privacy.
The site is also at the headwaters of an ecologically sensitive watershed, and both storm and ground water are carefully mitigated to curtail run-off and maintain water quality.
