Moving Parts: Modify the Panel House Plan to Suit Your Site
Wednesday, March 10, 2010 at 10:48AM
We're having fun lately here at Hometta World Headquarters, receiving schematic designs from the 11 new studios we welcomed to our collective this year. One of our newest is the Panel House, as it's tentatively named at the moment, which lets you have as much transparency or privacy around your house as you want and need.
From Dan Hisel's blog, Temptation by Space:
THE PANEL HOUSE IS DESIGNED AROUND THE CONCEPT OF A MODULAR, VARIABLE SKIN THAT OFFERS THE CLIENT THE OPPORTUNITY TO "TUNE" THEIR HOME TO SUIT THE NATURE OF THEIR SITE.
A DOZEN OR SO PANELS (PERHAPS LESS?) RANGING FROM INSULATED, TO TRANSLUCENT, CLEAR GLASS, LOUVERED, AND VARIATIONS OF THE ABOVE, ALLOW THE CLIENT TO COMPOSE A FACADE THAT RESPONDS DIRECTLY TO EVERY UNIQUE SITE CONDITION. GREAT VIEW? ALL GLASS. NOSEY NEIGHBORS? SOLID PANELS. WESTERN LIGHT CAUSING GLARE? LOUVERED PANELS. UGLY STUFF TO THE SOUTH BUT STILL NEED THE LIGHT? TRANSLUCENT PANELS.
We love the way Panel House can be customized almost efforlessly to meet changing site needs. What would your panel configuration look like?
