Residential Project 980202

Vernacular meets modern. Home as village. The concept started with the client's desire to keep guests from underfoot. The glass entry serves as the connecting element of the one-bedroom main house and the two-bedroom guest cottage. At the entry, one immediately views through the connector to the rear terrace and overwhelming view beyond. The main house is basically one lodge scaled room with on overhanging master suite loft. The great room feels like a roofed pavilion in the forest with 180 degrees of views of a par five from tee to green. An oversize fireplace with a modern interpretation of an inglenook hearth is backed by another fireplace placed intimately to the hidden hot tub. The integral structure of timber, steel beams, and concrete purposefully obscure the line between indoors and out. The social space feels like a glassed-in porch rather than a box with window holes punched into it. The home is subtly skewed on the site to make the L shaped home shield the rear terrace and fire pit from any potential neighbor.
