Modern Weekend Stone House Design Ideas

There are two buildings in this site, one for parent and other for grown up child. A large site, a massive modern house from granite stones, but accented with great expanses glass, make this house unify with the landscape like a continuous symphony. A dry-stack stone wall linked by water features, provide a unifying texture and distinguish the private, southern-oriented arrival side of the buildings from the northern-facing curtain walls.

The building house for parent is split into public and private wings by a gallery overlooking a sculpture court. The public wing is a singular volume subdivided by wrapping roofs: the lower roof creates an intimate dining area and screened porch, and the upper one defines the entry vestibule and living room. The building house for child is composed of perpendicular roof planes which over-sail the stone walls; and a taught box of oak glu-lam portal frames wrapped in a continuous skin of louvers. With an abstract an abstract composition of planar materials, the houses redefined to be a series of internal and external courtyards spaces for the family.
