On a small lake in a Wilmington neighborhood rests a villa called Dragonfly. Two parallel wings defined by thick mahogany walls, contain sleeping, cooking, eating, and bathing areas. Within the mahogany walls, structure & equipment is concealed, and openings are made revealing sparkling layers beneath. Interstitial space between the mahogany walls becomes a living room offering both panoramic lake vistas and intimate views to the private courtyard. By inverting the traditional home (bringing private outdoor space inward) and employing sustainable strategies, this home harmonizes interior & exterior, public & private, artifact & environment.
