Private Residence
This weekend home, located on a mid-western thoroughbred horse farm, is sited to take advantage of a timbered area to the south and east and open grazing meadows to the north and west.
The exterior is distinguished by a gabled roof accentuated by a plan of insulation defining the enclosed living area.
An eight foot module establishes the laminated wood structural system, which is extended to create framing continuity over the verandah.
This indoor-outdoor relationship is further enhanced through the use of redwood siding for exterior surfaces and interior paneling.
Sliding glass doors at the verandah open the living space to views of woods and meadows.
Wood materials (structural and finish) are paramount to the concept and execution of this mid-western ranch house whose character is appropriate to its purpose and setting.
