ARCHITECTS : MARLON BLACKWEEL ARCHITECT
LOCATION: NORTHWEST ARKANSAS
THE LOW-SLUNG EXISTING TARTAN GRID STRUCTURE, WITH TRACES OF BOTH KAHN AND WRIGHT, WAS INSTILLED WITH ANEW SENSE OF HIERARCHY THROUGH THE ADDITION OF LIGHT MONITORS AND SUSPENDED LOFTS TO THE CHILDREN'S SPACES, A NEW KITCHEN, AND A GREAT ROOM WITH A SADDLE-BACK ROOF FOR LIVING, ENTERTANING, AND THE DISPLY OF FINE ART.
VERTICALLY ORIENTED MONITORS BRING MUCH-NEEDED LIGHT THROUGH STEEL WINDOWS INTO THE ONCE GLOOMY INTERIORS MOST DAMAGED BY FIRE.
THE GREAT ROOM IS NATURALLY LIT FROM ALL SIDES AND FILL THE CENTER OF THE HOUSE WITH LIGHT AND VIEWS TO THE SKY AND ADJACENT MONITORS ABOVE.
WITH TWO CHILDREN AT ONE END OF THE HOUSE AND THEIR FATHER AT THE OTHER END, THE GREAT ROOM IS POSITIONED TO UNITE THE FAMILY IN ONE GRAND SOCIAL SPACE.
THE ROOM CUTS ACROSS THE NON-DIRECTIONAL GRID OF THE EXISTING STRUCTURE PROVIDING AN ENRICHED AND CONTRASTING SPATIAL COMPLEXITY.
AT THE END OF THE MEZZANINE A FLYING WALL-A VERTICAL TABLEAU-APPEARS TO FLOAT IN SPACE, THE COMPOSITION OF ITS RUSTED METAL SHINGLES CHOREOGRAPHED TO THE MUSIC OF NEIL YOUNG AND THE BAND .
