The greater unifier of the spaces of this prefab house is the house’s exterior, a formidable assembly of teak window framing, copper detailing, and deliriously long, Algonquin limestone blocks: all enable the house to appear delicate and fortresslike at the same time. Living spaces anchor the center point from which the building’s two wings protrect. Yet what might otherwise be a bulky transition between zones is smoothed and unified by the use of gentle angles and curves: the roof slopes gradually upward over the gallery spaces and a corkscrew staircase connects the first and second levels.
