Glass Curtain Wall System

The combination of glass curtain wall system, spiral wood structure, and the vertical wood-fin skin make a complex range of this house architecture. But the whole effects from that combination produces a coastal atmosphere inside and outside the house.

Cedar Wood Siding

The purpose of using cedar wood siding is about responding and innovating the clapboard and cedar wood shingle houses around the neighborhood of Spiral House. The large panel glass door and window provide the Long Island Sound extraordinary view.

Exterior

Spiral house is not only built by the cedar wood siding but also by concrete. Both of those materials are the best material to give a good durability and strength to resist the coastal New England storm around the house.

Interior

The interiors of Spiral house have both public and private design. One space to another space is entwined and connected well to each other. Dining, kitchen, and living room are located in one large open space with the glass wall around it. Other private rooms can be found on the second floor upstairs.

Overlapping Construct

Spiral house is also about an overlapping construct according to the site landscape around the Connecticut shoreline of Long Island Sound. With the rocks along the shoreline, this house gets an awesome and beautiful natural landscape design.
