This sloping site is divided in half by a stream, and at the center of
the site sits a huge stone kiln. These elements were regarded as important
contextual and regional characteristics, and the client wished to preserve
them. The spatial composition also includes a stone wall with a small opening
at its center on the north facade that provides a view of the kiln. The
wall follows the curves in the stream and defined the interior spaces.
Another wall, made of Canadian red cedar, extends and connects to the other
side of the stream. All circulation routes such as stairs and corridors
are placed along this wall. A third wall, forming a brick cylinder containing
a kitchen, a bathroom, and a fireplace, is the functional core of the house. |
