Set within a 2-acre flag pole lot, the house, pool house, pool and tennis court are sited to preserve the south lawn and mature maple tree. The two minimalist structures are clad entirely in repurposed wood.

The interior finishes and furnishings of the house are inspired by the light and shadow play of the slats over the wall and roof glass.

Inspiration

Inspired by the eponymous lath house; a traditional gabled farm structure made primarily of wood laths or slats spaced to reduce sunlight while permitting ventilation.

The project program consists of a garage, mudroom, guest suite, living, dining, kitchen, principal bedroom suite, three bedroom suites, laundry, and linen storage. The lower level contains a guest suite, gym, wine storage, tv room, bunk space and mechanicals. The pool house structure supports a changing room, bathroom, lounge area and open pergola sitting space.

The siding is reclaimed from decades-old corral board fencing. The repurposed wood, electrically based geothermal heating and cooling, closed cell polyurethane insulation, mechanical fresh air system, and insulated high efficiency windows all contribute to the efficiency in the design and sustainability of the house. Water collection is through a concealed gutter and downspout system and dispersed evenly to mitigate erosion. All lighting is LED.
