Field House

View of the living area with the kitchen space realized in black walnut wood.

Located behind two existing houses, the field is approached upon turning off the county road.

A tree line along the western edge leads the visitor towards the house across a land bridge spanning the edge of a protected wetland. Beyond this point, the path to the house is defined by a gravel drive sandwiched between the tree line and an apple orchard.

The house, along this path of approach, is visible as another structure in the landscape, its use revealed only on closer experience and examination.

The building and orchard frame views of the field. Limestone steps lead down to a cedar deck that opens onto these corn fields.

Haptic and sensory concerns of the design are subservient to its architectural form.

A simple 5,000 square foot box, the Field House is clad in a zinc galvanized metal skin, akin to other structures in the landscape such as the neighboring silos.
