The new 6,000 s.f. Beach Wood House is conceived as an old piece of drift wood tree, weathered by the elements, simultaneously open and fortified. The house is wrapped with glass and varying depths and orientations of wood, outside and inside. Two layers of wood siding interweave to form the private enclosures upstairs. Gradated semi-private and sun-screened apertures are formed by steam bending and turning the wood siding. The two layers diverge at times, enveloping the open living space exterior and interior walls, ceilings, shelves.
