Sandpoint Residence

The overall composition consists of three volumes with similar roof lines. The porch and the tower add foreground and background elements to the central volume. The fanciful window pattern is a nod to the SIPS construction system, which does not require headers and framing at every window, allowing for a freedom of expression not easily obtained with standard stud construction. The reverse "shutters" are an expression of the rain-screen cladding system, giving a glimpse through to the actual building skin behind the facade. photo by Miguel Edwards
