Green Leaf Ln was conceived as a shared living environment—what we lovingly call a roommate house. Split into four distinct units, the home rethinks suburban living by prioritizing connection, flexibility, and individuality under one roof. It’s a place where community and privacy coexist with intention.

The Process

We came to our first meeting with clear direction. Design is our love language, and we heard him clearly. The spark in his eyes said everything—he loved what he saw, it all clicked. He spoke in ideas and values, and we translated those words into space.

Like any process, there were ups and downs, ins and outs. Through it all, the house slowly became what it was meant to be: a lovely, nurturing environment. A space to connect, but also to retreat. A space designed for him—a thinker, a giver, a teacher, and a learner—and ultimately for those who would share in the life of the home.

The Concept

“It’s in suburbia,” he said, “let’s change things up.” Green Leaf challenges the conventions of single-family housing by introducing a new model for shared living. The client spoke about loving the buzz—the action, the movement—and carried a big idea:
“Let’s create a home you can share with the community and still have your own space.”

The result is a house that transforms how people live together. Four units are organized around generous shared spaces that encourage interaction, anchored by a communal kitchen designed as the heart of the home. Warm wood cabinetry, integrated storage, and clean-lined detailing create a calm, cohesive backdrop for daily life. Natural materials and soft textures foster a sense of ease, while moments of craftsmanship—custom millwork, open shelving, and thoughtful lighting—add depth and warmth.

Shared Yet Personal

At Green Leaf Ln, shared spaces invite gathering, cooking, and conversation, while private areas allow for quiet reflection and rest. Each unit feels intentional and complete, yet part of a greater whole. The design supports movement and energy without sacrificing comfort or autonomy.

This is a house that embraces people—how they live, learn, teach, and give. A home designed not just for shelter, but for connection, growth, and community.
