NextHouse by Empyrean International LLC
NextHouse is designed around a central clear-spanned living, kitchen and dining volume that opens onto a large outdoor living space through the use of a 24-foot accordion door, which is suspended from a gallery space above that also houses an automated insect screen.
When lowered, this screen allows the entire main volume of the house to function as a screened room, providing a new dimension to living and encouraging passive whole-house ventilation. Built almost exclusively with wood, NextHouse brings warmth to modern design and provides a clear relationship of interior to exterior.
