Stair House by William Price This project challenges the residential design status quo, emphasizing the incorporation of environmental and cultural sustainability into its core principles. Through the reinterpretation of an existing typology, it expands the boundaries of what is possible within a narrow urban infill lot. The use of sustainable materials, deep planter guard rails, and covered outdoor patios encourage a connection with nature and cross-ventilation. The house is a reflection of how the relationship with nature and one another is evolving in the context of urban living.

Shotgun Over and Under Residential House by William Price Shotgun Over and Under is located in the Lower Heights neighborhood of Downtown Houston, Texas. The site is bound by an industrial zone to the south and the first African American cemetery in the Houston city limits. The project references Houston's Shotgun Houses located in Freedman's Town in the Fourth Ward which are long narrow one-story houses with rooms placed end-to-end. Shotgun Over and Under is a deviation from the theme of Shotgun House and is conceived as two Shotgun houses stacked atop of one another, one private and one public.

Tall House by William Price Tall House is a vertical infill dwelling on a narrow, grandfathered lot in Houston. Two stacked volumes organize five levels of living from street to roof while supporting passive cooling. A breezeway on the third level brings light and air through the section, enabling cross ventilation and stack effect airflow. A rentable ground level suite adds flexibility, and an industrial material palette anchors the house within its dense urban setting.
