Project Description
2009 RADA
Outbuilding / Merit
A dark, quiet, enigmatic shape in the woods, this building responds to a very simple program. “It's mostly about reading and writing, watching the fire, and listening to music,” says Wendy Evans Joseph, FAIA, LEED AP.
But in simplicity there is power, and Joseph's distilled forms and highly tuned surfaces imbue familiar elements with iconic force. Our judges noted the deft handling of walnut in building assemblies and sculptural custom furnishings.
