Futurist Architecture

The flat-screen panels, green roofs, and solar panels inlaid to the house entry floor. There are also a few of the custom features such as adjustable chain mail shade curtains on a trolley system, a Pickard steam injection pizza oven, mechanized fireplace doors, and triple-stacked bunk beds. These features are wrapped in an exterior of moss rock, steel, corral board, and zinc panels.

The exterior and interior of the house are connected by the operable glass hangar doors. These doors can frame vistas of the distant architecture, beach, landscape, and the lake. The east and west area of the house with the south-facing 12 ft. overhangs can mitigate solar heat gain and excess sun exposure while maintaining the awesome views at the same time.

KL House is stripped of moldings with a lot of room for the unique character of the natural cedar shingle. The volume’s cut part is covered with smooth cedar placks, creating a contrast with the textured shingle. This house also recalls some North Hatley villas by its sheet metal roof and natural cedar covering mainly.

Each window of the house overlooks a beautiful different landscape without any neighbors around. Besides the sea and dune views, the couple also can see some foxes in their house area. The roof slopes and the staircase movement can be a sculptural object in space. And from the upstairs bedroom, the couple also can enjoy the breathtaking views of the horizon.

The compact and square shape of this home also comes with a green roof. This roof is designed and inspired by the park of the neighboorhood, including the hatch for sleeping under the stars. ELLSWORTH is not only a project about a house renovation but also an addition of some house elements to create a comfortable and spacious living place.
