Fayetteville, Arkansas, 1998

A 2400 sq. ft. three level residence incorporates a strategy of sequential framing developed to address living between two disparate physical aspects of the site - the immediate inclined terrain and the horizontality of the western landscape beyond. Using the minimum size for a two-car garage, a plan diagram was generated by duplicating this module resulting in two squares joined together by a series of stairways that ascend the sloped site. A custom designed siding system of painted and stained plywood sheets with custom milled redwood battens and trim enriches the building’s simple volume.
