BLACKBIRD

Contractor: Spire Builders
Landscape: Donald Pell Gardens

Stone, clapboard, and charred wood dominate the palette for this project. Inspired by the colors found in a Spotted Winged Blackbird nest that is native to the site, the house is composed of three major forms. With a welcoming entry courtyard, the new structure feels like it was built over time. The building entry is layered with windbreaks, clapboard, and views to the meadow to which the building opens its wings.
