Arnold Studio

Friday afternoon inspiration - Louis Kahn, Fisher House, 1967 (!)
Wonderfully complex and simple at the same time.

Hill House, by the architects MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple, sits atop a windswept hill, maximizing the panoramic views of its site on Nova Scotia's coastline. The form of the house takes on the sculptural quality of a landform in a direct response to the landscape conditions. Two structures - house and barn - sit opposite one another and are linked by a walled courtyard garden, intended to provide a sheltered microclimate. At the interior, long, horizontal windows and sheltered openings frame dramatic views of the landscape. The house is constructed using traditional timber framing craftsmanship and is clad in cedar shingles.
