Lawson Road House
Firm
Type
Additions to an existing roadside
house redirect the focus of the primary living spaces to enjoy privacy and
views of a stunning rural landscape.
A diaphanous gallery connector overlays the existing structure, bridging
the old and new areas. A long
terrace off the length of the gallery is punctuated by a shade trellis at its
north end. The new entry is
positioned at the home's midpoint with a frosted glass door and adjacent
clerestory windows for privacy from the road.
Additions to the house were designed
to make places in and gently connect to the landscape, responding to the
Owners' program and modernist preferences. The curved roof of the new living room addition converses
with the undulating hillsides, while long lean massing maintains a low profile,
deferring to the flow of the land.
The structures are shaped and positioned to capture a soft-edged
exterior space, appreciated year-round through large glazed areas.
Use of local fieldstone, natural
cedar siding, dark metal clad windows and gray metal roofing provide an
understated, harmonious materiality sympathetic to the site, requiring minimal maintenance.
Cherry flooring is used for the main
living space, with gray stone tile in the new entry and gallery leading to the
refinished wide board pine floors in the existing areas. The living room fireplace is faced with
a brushed zinc panel system, with adjacent walls along the roadside elevation
accommodating firewood on one side and concealing a basement access stair on
the other beneath clerestory windows. Solar shades are built in and a sliding
panel in the living room conceals the television and AV components. Bright color accents complete the
panoramic landscape and glow in the afternoon sun.
Detailing is minimal and intended as a counterpoint to the richness of the
natural landscape.
