This beautiful secluded house and art studio, hand built by a Japanese Potter, has been given a new life as a writing studio for its owner. The building, having been neglected and uninhabited for some time, was in danger of being demolished. The owner’s recognition of the underlying spirit of the place, in what can only be described as a labor of love, worked with the designers and the artisans to bring this building back to life. The stone cylinder at the center of the building houses bathrooms and mechanical systems, allowing the remainder of the building to remain open. The new cedar posts, stair, custom cabinets and handcrafted sliding doors are among the details that were chosen to complement the restoration of the underlying building, ensuring a long life for this peaceful retreat.

This amazing Shrock Premier timber frame home was recently featured in Timber Home Living magazine. Perched high upon a hill, this red barn style exterior, complete with silo certainly evokes a "wow" reaction! The 5,000 square foot home provides the perfect respite for the hectic lifestyle. The basement walkout custom cabinetry was made by Shrock experts from timbers cut and milled from the scenic land surrounding the home.

Architect: Michelle Penn, AIA This barn home is modeled after an existing Nebraska barn in Lancaster County. Heating is by passive solar design, supplemented by a geothermal radiant floor system. Cooling will rely on a whole house fan and a passive air flow system. The passive system is created with the cupola, windows, transoms and passive venting for cooling, rather than a forced air system. Here you can see the underside of the gambrel roof and the ladder leading up to the cupola. The stair & guard railing was created using goat fencing. Photo Credits: Jackson Studios

Hallway - contemporary hallway idea in Denver

A DESIGN FOR A CUSTOM SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE LOCATED IN A WOODY NOOK OUTSIDE OF HUDSON, NY; 90 MILES OUTSIDE OF NORTH OF NEW YORK CITY. THE CLIENTS CAME WITH IDEAS AND OPENNESS TO DISCOVER A WAY TO GAIN SIGHTLINES OF THE NEARBY CATSKILL MOUNTAIN RANGE TO THE WEST AND THE BERKSHIRES TO THE EAST, YET STILL MAINTAIN THE PRIVACY THE WOODS AFFORDED. BY LIFTING UP THE SINGLE STORY RESIDENCE WE DISCOVERED THAT THE HOUSE GAINS SWEEPING VIEWS AND INCREASES PRIVACY. THE ADDITIONAL STRUCTURE REQUIRED IS EQUIVALENT COST OF DIGGING IN AND WATERPROOFING A BASEMENT. THE HOUSE WAS DESIGNED AND DETAIL TO MEET PASSIVE HOUSE IDEOLOGIES, INCORPERATED SOLAR PANELS, AND GEOTHERMAL HEATING TO ENCOUAGE SUSTAINABLE LIVING. THE CONCRETE SILOS HOUSE THE BATHROOMS ON THE NORTHSIDE AND TWO STAIRCASES ON THE SOUTH. ALL MATERIALS WERE SOURCED TO BE SUSTAINABLE, LOCALLY, AND PLACED TOGETHER WITH MASTERFUL MODERN CRAFTSMANSHIP. ALL TOGETHER THE NEW RESIDENCE IS EMODIES THE MODERN DICHOTOMY OF INSIDE AND OUTSIDE LIVING, HARMONIZING TECHNOLOGY WITH NATURE, AND ELEVATING STANDARD OF DAY TO DAY LIVING.

It is a contemporary ‘farm style compound’ with the main house accommodated in a ‘barn’ structure, the garages & workshops (steel- & woodworking workshops for the tinkering owner) in adjoining ‘sheds’ and the entrance & staircase housed in a semi-klinker ‘silo’ structure. A lap pool to the North of the barn act as a passive cooling device in summer, by cooling the warm summer winds from the North-East down through the evaporation of the pool water, and drawing the hot air from the ‘barn’ through large apertures facing the pool to the North & the pasture to the South. Triangular windows in the gables can be opened to draw out further hot air rising to the ceiling level inside the house. Proper insulation materials & methods for the roof, walls & floors, together with double glazing results in a cosy & warm interior. The lap pool is also an analogy of a drinking trough for the cows which used to roam the land and found on the farm before it was developed, hankering to its past, but off course also is just a swimming pool, in which the kids can play or train in for swimming galas. This house is designed to self-sufficient and ‘off-the-grid’ in the end, through the incorporation of many ideas & systems. Sustainable elements include items like a rain water harvesting system with galvanized tanks on the outside in feeling with the farm style vernacular, grey water recycling for garden irrigation, solar water heating- & photo voltaic (electricity generation) on the roof, the use of recycled materials obtained from demolished buildings & bridges at the time, and low-water-low maintenance gardens, indigenous to the area.
