Captain's House
Shohola, PA, United States

Type
YEAR
2007
SIZE
3000 sqft - 5000 sqft
A retired Army captain asked us to design an urban loft on a steep, wooded, rocky site overlooking the Delaware River in
rural Pennsylvania. The house was to
serve as an escape from NYC and a laboratory for ideas - a place to read and
work, pace and think. The basic design
is composed of two intersecting volumes.
The large volume is a multi-level loft space - long, narrow, high -
oriented parallel to the river below.
Intersecting this is a smaller, three-story volume, capturing the main
entry and housing all "wet" functions - bathrooms, hydronic heating system,
etc. The sleeping mezzanine cantilevers
into the main space and provides access to a planted (green) roof covering the
entire large volume. The interior is
finished almost exclusively in maple plywood, punctuated with openings that
frame the surrounding forest, rock outcroppings and river. The exterior is a combination of wood and
corrugated metal, playing off the utilitarian materials used on many nearby
agrarian structures.
