| PHILLIPS HOUSE |
North Wilkesboro, NC, 2004
|
This small weekend house of 800 square feet is located in the mountains of North Carolina. The house is designed as a narrow frame, 12 feet wide, with all the elements of the house stretched along the south façade. Each element, fireplace, bathroom, kitchen, closets are expressed as objects that are carefully placed and related both vertically and horizontally. The house stretches out along the East/West axis and terminates with stairs leading to rock formations in the stream.
The traditional expectation of a house having four elevations is reinterpreted and the suggestion is of a house with a singular elevation formed by a series of parallel planes and objects. The house is organized on three levels with a possible fourth level being the stream.
