Perch House

As a bird's perch is an extension of the structure of the tree, this human perch is an extension of the structure of the house. The master balcony cantilevers from the house so that the owners can enjoy their morning coffee up in the branches along with the birds and squirrels.

The orientation of the stair is such that sunlight at noon enters and casts shadows as shown in the is photo. The light strikes last only a few minutes each day. It is a clock that is right only once a day.

Perch House

The stair from the first floor to the upper level cantilevers slightly from the wall. We accentuated this and stepped the siding to create a shadow that would allude to the stair inside.
