Project Featured on Oct 11, 2015
Inspired to create a home
to be experienced by all five senses, the Beaumont concrete house evolved as an
exploration project. The design, understated, is situated in a mixed use neighborhood where
residential duplexes coexist with small to midsize industrial buildings. Despite the project’s integration, a number
of features distinguish the project from other buildings in the area. In contrast
to the superimposed typology of apartment units located on the ground floor and
second floor, the Beaumont house challenges this spatial composition by
creating a modular square plan where one unit is situated on the ground and
second floor, and a second unit is located on the second and third floor. This
spatial tour de force is a response to the program and sun movement, allowing
each unit exposure to three orientations rather than two and to take full
advantage of southern sunlight.
The house most noticeable feature, however, is the
fact that nearly all exterior walls are built out of concrete exposed to the
interior and the outside, with insulation in the middle. Combining rich primary materials to large
modular square volumes filled with an abundance of natural light, the house
contains a series of framed experiences.
The central space is the largest volume where a double height living
room is defined by concrete and wood surfaces which foil off each other. The
softness of the walnut cabinetry and the cedar ceiling contrast the hard
textured concrete walls. The pallet of materials is reduced and disciplined. Cedar ceilings
and concrete floors are used throughout. Secondary elements such as Walnut
furniture with black granite surfaces are also featured.
