Project
Description:
The residence is a poetic response
to the disjunction and unification represented in the literal commission:
to design a living space for a divorced couple that upon retirement
wanted to live together. The residence is completely handicap accessible
because one owner has cerebral palsy. Pairs of “V” glulam
columns along the 100’ long wings minimize obstructions and allows the
interior and exterior to blur together with the additional use of storefront
glazing as the exterior skin. |

Jury
Comments:
“The roof just floats above the landscape…it
is the shelter”
“The interior is equal to the exterior
….I like how you have to engage the wood structure on the inside too…”
“I would really like to see this house
…. it is a real country house.”
