This is a house for a creative and passionate family to live and work in-- a family that values design and wanted something special.
The clients came to us with a five-acre property with the intention of building a simple, modern, affordable home in a clearing amidst a lush forest. They wanted the house to disturb the natural environment as little as possible and accommodate the surrounding wildlife. Our clients wanted a unique live/work house that would provide them with interesting spatial overlaps; spaces where they could be creative.
We began with the most efficient and economical plan form: a rectangle with plan functions divided into quadrants. We then challenged and re-envisioned the box (or the typical spec plan) based on the patterns of use and lifestyle of the client. These transformations created a plan where the more important spaces grew larger. These moves began to push and pull the building’s protective skin, creating dynamic elevations. The resulting form was a simple box, protected and augmented by an inexpensive but highly articulated shell. This box, wrapped in a skin of solid and perforated cor-ten steel acts as a visual screen, rain screen, canopy, and sunshade. The home, much like an old barn, is a constantly evolving element in the landscape. “As time goes forward, we’re catching up to the past, in a way,” says the homeowner.
This house re-presents affordable materials and agricultural stereotypes in a unique architectural composition. To reflect the verdant surroundings, we used simple, inexpensive materials and references to agricultural structures in a modern architecture composition. Recalling old farm sheds, the weathered cor-ten steel exterior, both solid and perforated, is a constantly evolving element in the landscape.
