THE MODERN RESIDENCE
BELOW TOP & BOTTOM: With two distinct personalities, the composition modulates its apparent scale. From the street, the construct
fits amicably into the modest fabric of the neighborhood as a series of furniture-like wood boxes. It then unfolds into a transparent lens
affording uninterrupted views to the water beyond. Wall and ceiling planes are arranged carefully to display kaleidoscopic reflections of
sunlight off the water.
FACING PAGE TOP & BOTTOM: The glazing is specifically engineered to reflect winter heat inward while rejecting summer solar gain. It
also maximizes visible light transmittance for optimal views to nature. Stone from a neighboring Wisconsin quarry passes through the glass
wall, blurring the distinction between interior and exterior spaces.
