Casa Sky Valley
The
design of this 3 bedroom, 2 bath vacation house, gently occupies the heavily
wooded site, with the least disruption to its natural setting, while taking
advantage of the unique context, views and solar orientation. The structure, clad in modular 2 ft. by 8 ft.
maple plywood and corrugated “galvalum” panels, with a footprint 20 ft. wide
(e/w) by 90 ft. long (n/s), is sited to be oriented in a north/south axis and
“bridges” over the creek, with structural supports 27 ft. away from either side
(north and south) of the creek. The bottom of the structure floats 20 ft. above
the creek, allowing for what little light that can reach the creek in this
heavily wooded lot to continue to reach the ground.
Projecting
out from the structure is an 8 ft. wide cantilevered balcony along the east
side of the house. The floor structure
of this deck is made of re-cycled plastic in the form of “grates” and is
designed to allow light through the floor to the areas around the creek below. When not occupied, the floor deck is hinged
and folded up against the sliding glass doors becoming storm/security shutters,
and allowing the floor area of the balcony to be completely open to below. The “roof” of the balcony is made of
translucent corrugated panels that protect from rain, but allow sun and light
to filter through. The design also features a 4 ft wide “glass” interior floor
and skylight system along the west side of the plan, that allows additional
light to penetrate to the ground area under portion of creek covered by the structure. The required septic system is on the northern
side of the property, occupying the site area with a required buffer of 50 ft.
from the edge of the creek.
The
design allows for house to be occupied with or without air conditioning in the
summer, and will be heavily insulated to minimize energy consumption in the
winter (with fireplaces in every room) and incorporating the use of
photovoltaic panels to reduce the use of electricity, along with solar water
heating systems to heat domestic water.
A granite driveway will be designed to “weave” itself around major trees
to remain, but always maintaining a minimum distance from creek of 25 ft.
