1995

A 30' x 130' single family house that proposes to address issues of living between two disparate and volatile conditions - land and water. Set in land areas located along navigable waterways and lakes with active flood plains this prototype attempts to respond by rethinking the nature of dwelling. Here the relationship between structure, land, and water is conceived in an integrated manner. An elevated site cast concrete structure supports the living areas of metal framing clad with an industrial metal panel system.
