Field House

The vast crop fields surrounding this residence in Wisconsin, USA and the anonymous structures dotting them provide for a unique source of inspiration in this design by Wendell Burnette Architects.

The Building

The site located in northeastern Wisconsin- an area dominated by crop fields and dairy farms- is a sixteen acre "altered landscape" that has been farmed for generations.

A number of utilitarian structures dot the area with white limestone quarries, native prairie grasses, wetlands, and forests competing for space.

The design responds to the unique context presented by both natural and man-made field conditions.

Seasonal changes in the context are further heightened by the plantation and rotation of crops and orchards.

Both -- the physical context as well as the concerns and interests of the client, emerged as the main generators of the design.
