Client: Private Residence Contractor: Alfred T. Mohr Construction Corp.

 
BK House is our modern interpretation of an Adirondack styled home. An eastern view as well as a prescribed footprint along the north/south axis demanded unique southern light strategies. Trellised recesses with large polycarbonate panels allow for a full day of natural light and their rhythm help distinguish the program areas within the open living side of the residence. The other more dense side holds bedrooms, bathrooms and storage and is horizontally wrapped with reclaimed wood siding. This horizontal siding is dubbed “mushroom wood” and is actually cypress planks used as drying surfaces in Pennsylvania mushroom barns. The other reclaimed wood set vertically is local barn board and the contrast between the two is strong.
