Fairburn makes a compact Westside lot work by building upward, stacking living across levels and opening the ground floor to a garden loggia.
The plan solves a tight urban lot by organizing the program vertically: living spaces rise through the levels, and a covered loggia at the ground floor brings the outdoors into the plan without consuming lot area.
The engineering
HR Development delivered the multi-level build, coordinating the stacked plan, the loggia, and the transition from indoor to outdoor living as a cohesive vertical sequence on a compact Westside site.
The estate
A lot maximized by building up
Fairburn is a multi-story house on a compact Westside lot, stacking warm transitional living spaces above a ground-floor loggia that opens to the garden.
Living levels
- Warm transitional living spaces across levels
- Kitchen
- Bedrooms and full baths
Outdoor
- Covered loggia at ground level
- Garden
The build sequence
How it came together
The order the work was solved — from the structure outward to the final finish.
Vertical structure
The vertical structure coordinated on a compact lot.
Level-to-level flow
Circulation resolved so the house reads as one continuous home rather than stacked floors.
Loggia tie-in
The outdoor loggia carefully tied back into the ground-level living.
