STEEL HOUSE
Status: Construction completed 2013
On approach, the house gradually appears as a long, low, dark red weathered steel surface that blends into the colors of the earth and surrounding foliage. Moving beyond a discrete one story entry wall, the upper story of the house opens to dramatic views up and down valley. Structural shear walls formed of weathering steel and delicately textured surfaces define the interior spaces of the house while reorienting your view from the mountains out to the terraces and down to the creek. The project used digital fabrication for the steel, stone and wood structure, enabling complex patterning and precise integration.
