Blohm Residence
Type
The design and implementation of the Blohm residence in sparsely populated San Benito County, which at 12 residences per square mile is one of the least dense and least populated counties in California, was an endeavor to create a sense of Heidegger´s ¨there-ness¨ in the rural outback of this central coast region of California.The initial design was informed by the unique desires and specific situation of the husband and wife owners. She, a retired school teacher, desired a ¨country-chic¨ residence complete with porch and colonnade. He, a retiring engineer, yearned for an agrarian expression of modernism in all its steel detailing and spatial complexity. These seemingly dichotomous goals were resolved by employing a unifying design vocabulary found in the indigenous rural history of the immediate property and surrounding farming area.As the owner’s children have all grown and moved on, the small, two-bedroom house was specifically designed for “couple-living”, encompassing a series of smaller use-oriented spaces connected spatially to the voluminous loft interior. While intimate and personal, the residence also serves well the occasional visits from children and grandchildren, allowing for multigenerational enjoyment of this neo-agrarian domicile, and will serve as a family retreat for years to come.
