Arritt Farm House Virginia : Potts Creek Residence
Alleghany County project, United States of America – design by OnSite
Aug 5, 2010
Arritt Farm House
Potts Creek, Alleghany County, Virginia, USA
Residence in Alleghany County
The project consisted of the complete renovation of an existing two hundred year old farmhouse and the design and construction of a new three story tower addition.
The addition, a quilting studio and guest rooms, is conceived as a torqued translucent volume with punched window openings that frame particular creek and mountain views.
The time-tested timber framing techniques uncovered while renovating the existing house inspired the tower’s structure.
A three-dimensional computer model enabled the building to be constructed as a kit of parts, each pre-cut and coded for efficient assembly.
The building’s translucent polycarbonate envelope conforms to the, hyperbolic shape, baths the interior spaces in an even natural light and reveals a sculptural timber frame.
The building is the resolutely modern expression of an ancient technique.
