Shotgun Over and Under Residential House

William Price

Architecture, Building and Structure Design 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.
