The house is a simple bar conceptually and literally broken into 3 use defined areas; i.e. guest wing, public/fraternal spaces, master bedroom. The roof design also provides shade to the lakeside terrace adjacent to the lap pool, while simultaneously capturing and directing the water-cooled breezes through the upper transom windows of the living space. Rain collection from the valley of the roof is directed to an underground reservoir to be used for irrigating the native-planted landscape.Materially modest components such as corrugated roof SIP panels, concrete floor, Stucco over insulated concrete form blocks, board form concrete wall finish, aluminum clad windows, cloth roll down shades make for simple and lean construction: a suitable response to the client’s request for a dramatic, humble, inexpensive, low maintenance, yet inspired shelter.
