Baughman Residence
Located in the western foothills bordering the Sequoia National Forest, this two-story dwelling contains living and dining areas, two bedrooms and two baths on the ground level, and a private master suite on the second floor. An addition made in 1991 to the second floor plan relocated the bedroom to provide a study with balcony above the garage. Nestled beneath the overarching reach of California live oaks, each room in the house frames a specific view either of Florence Peak in Mineral King or clusters of native oaks and geological features in the surrounding landscape. Metal roofing laid on a diagonal protects from a large volume dropping leaves and acorns, as well as the woodpeckers that flourish in the area. Together with the passage of trellises from inside to outside through glass wall panels, the incorporation of existing site features such as large boulders into the interior creates a strong sense of openness.
The principal architectural character of the house is felt through the many apertures filled with clear glass. A glazed stepped roof exposes landscape views while walking on the second floor bridge, provides sun protection to the living room below, and offers varying ambient light patterns throughout the day. Interior walls maintain an eight foot height while glass panels rise to the ceiling to extend the sense of space. Open trellises, light soffits, and carefully places windows add to the visual drama.
The prismatic ceiling of glass and steel over the master bathroom tub is canopied by two large oak trees and places the occupants in an environment of naturally shifting variations of illumination. The Baughman house expresses openly a proud freedom and independence of purpose that is at the heart of the life taking place in the countryside.
