Nested Neighbor
Nestled into an established Camden neighborhood, this newly built three-bedroom home, designed by architect Chris Grotton while working at Phi Builders + Architects, balances a modest exterior with a spacious, sunlit interior. Thoughtfully
designed to create a seamless flow between public and private spaces, the home fosters both connection and retreat.
At its core, the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas serve as the vibrant heart of the home, where natural light pours in through expansive windows, blurring the line between indoors and out. In contrast, the private spaces—bedrooms
and quiet retreats—are intentionally positioned for privacy and tranquility. Subtle design elements, such as widened thresholds, shifting ceiling heights, and carefully placed openings, allow an effortless transition between these
zones, ensuring a natural overflow of energy from one space to another. The result is a home that feels both expansive and intimate, thoughtfully designed for the rhythm of daily life.
