Box House
Inspired by the limestone bluff upon which the home resides, a new pool deck acts as an extension of the topography, drawing the limestone up to form a sculptural pedestal for the existing brick façade. Composed of 7-inch tall horizontal stone bands with deep reveals, the deck not only negotiates the transition between the house and the cliff, but also bridges the two wings of the house, uniting the newly-remodeled interiors. Large sliding doors allow direct access from the main living areas to the new pool deck, which concludes at a 60-foot long negative-edge pool supported by a cantilevered concrete slab set into bedrock.
