| The house will be located on the brow of a pastoral hillside in Middle Tennessee. The cubic form of the main body is rotated in relation to the orthogonal geometry of the interior metal stud walls and main steel structural system. The house is entirely supported by an 18 ft. grid of columns. This dueling grid of 45-degree angles erodes with each ascending floor plan thus creating a series of descending terraces. The vehicular approach to the house is from a circular driveway paved in a herringbone pattern of brick. The driveway penetrates the house making a porte-cochere. Between the columns on the ground floor are domestic services and the garage. The main entrance is off the porte-cochere and leads one directly to the foyer. The ground floor remains a sort of public level. The third floor level contains an auxiliary living area with three bedroom suites, each with its own bathroom. At the top of the ensemble is the master bedroom suite. |
