Project Description

FROM AIA INDIANA:

Inspired by the owner’s desire to have a small house overlooking the untouched wetlands, Bamesberger Architecture designed a series of boxes nestled into the hillside. The living space is only 960-square-feet. There are also two square decks, a screened porch and small storage box grouped along the edge of the wetlands.

Jury Comments:
“This residence employs a simple site strategy that is clearly communicated and executed. The relationship of the larger house to the small, screen pavilion frames views out into the site. The interior volume of the home is simple, but surprising with a direct use of a limited number of materials.”
