Schlotfeldt Residence
Naramata, Canada
Sitting high above the Okanagan valley, planted into the desolate mountain landscape sits a corten-clad house reminiscent of a land ship.
Intended to resist and react to the surrounding environment, the structure takes into consideration the risk of fire, extreme heat, wind, and snow that high altitude sites endure throughout the year. Large overhangs provide shelter from the elements. The structure’s base offers no glazed openings to help protect from infiltration of low lying fire. A set of steel perforated stairs lead you up to the entry across a perforated landing. A central skylight and light tunnel draws in additional natural light into the center of the home.
The truncated, arrow-shaped plan is raised up and set into the existing rocky landscape, providing an uninterrupted 270-degree view from the main living spaces of the Okanagan valley and flanking mountain ranges.
