Other Projects by Studio Twenty Seven Architecture
HUIS-JCMZ
3513, Woodbine Street, Chevy Chase, MD, United States
Building on the foundations of a former brick colonial
residence demolished to realize this new pavilion, Studio Twenty Seven
Architecture worked collaboratively with owner Johannes Zutt to create a
2,500-square-foot house they envisioned as “a city in the garden.” The owner, a
peripatetic Dutch national, desired a modern domestic space with an open living
plan and minimalist detailing, recalling the European architecture of Luigi
Snozzi, Rem Koolhaas, and Pierre Chareau. Rooms are arranged within the house to form
public and private spaces in the same manner that buildings are arranged in an
urban setting to create streets, plazas, and alleys. The result is a
contemporary dwelling designed using rigorous programming and critical logic to
carefully evaluate the function and efficiency of every element within the
home.
The primary space of the house includes a volumetric light
monitor that plunges from the rooftop deep into the living space. A third-story
loft is accessed from the second-story bedroom.
Warm-toned maple flooring and millwork complement the cast-concrete
countertop and china closet.
Outside, the long, narrow site rises steeply
from the street, leveling at the house and gently sloping upward to a wooded
thicket. In deference to the neighborhood context, the house’s mass and
proportions complement surrounding homes and respect the prevailing setback
from the street. Corrugated aluminum siding, shiplap cedar siding, and painted brick
clad the exterior. These materials are layered on the steel frame to reinforce
the expression of public and private spaces within the house. Private spaces
receive an additional layer of siding, as it is gradually peeled away in public
areas to engender openness to the landscape.
