Modern Architecture of Garey Residence with Natural Stream
Located on a four acre woodland site with a natural stream, the Modern Architecture of Garey Residence characterizes the changeover from the covered approach to one in which mass and volume put forth their independence from the border. The half-level circulation system that integrates the house into the landscape addresses the owners’ desire for privacy and a clear separation between parents’ and children’s sleeping spaces. The L-shaped orthogonal frame of the house is divided into four zones: the garage, at ground level; the common living areas, a half-level above, the children’s bedrooms, over the garage; and the master bedroom, another half-level up, overlooking the cut cylinder of the double-height living room. The vertical circulation sequence ends in a rooftop study opening to a deck overlooking the woods and hills to the north. Over the dining room, the cedar wall of the master bath slices the transparent volume of the cylinder, locking it into the orthogonal, cedar-clad frame of the house. The living room becomes both an object in a frame and an object in the woods, the place where interior and landscapes merge.
