Mohican Hills House
Bethesda, MD, United States
Project of the Day on Mar 16, 2018
Project Featured on Mar 16, 2018
This new house is in Glen Echo, Maryland within very close proximity to Washington, DC. The house is positioned along the ridge of the sloping site and oriented toward distant views of the Potomac River.
A linear composition of spaces arranged along the ridge and open to an existing clearing provides a large lawn with minimal site intrusion and preserves the vast majority of mature trees. The house is organized around a two-story living space with an open floor plan that integrates a high-ceilinged volume with intimate spaces adjacent to the double height space. A three story entry volume separates the master suite from the subsidiary bedrooms.
Expanses of glass provide views into the wooded landscape toward the distant river and animate the house with light. A combination intersecting spaces insure light penetration all times of day and all times of the year.
This house employs a concrete slab throughout the main floor which provides passive solar energy assistance. The concrete is stained dark with the goal of increasing the potential solar gain and storage. Large operable windows and doors are located to provide natural ventilation and direct access to the outdoors.
