Spring Hill House
Spring Hill House
The Spring Hill House, constructed on the site of an older home, is influenced by three major factors: the use of salvaged materials, orientation for maximum solar control, and the presence of existing mature trees and garden remnants. Its architectural language references Southern shed vernacular, including exposed wood framing, tin and rough-sawn pine and cedar siding. The tin roofing from the original house was salvaged and re-used on the ceiling in the living area, and salvaged heart pine boards were used throughout for wall cladding. The house is oriented along an east-west axis to maximize solar control. The front of the house faces south, with a large overhang that allows the sun to penetrate the living area during winter months, and block direct sun during summer. The screened porch is located at the highest point of the roof to maximize air circulation and help dissipate summer heat, while the translucent panels along the overhand allow constant north light to filter through the house. The exterior of the house is composed of cedar boards, fiber cement panels and rough-sawn pine harvested from the property.
