Tall White House
Durham, North Carolina
This 1,350 square foot house is nestled into a stand of 90′ tall pine trees; only one was removed for construction. High, open spaces and careful material selection make the most of a modest floor plan and budget. Plywood doubles as sheathing and exterior finish material. Closely-spaced battens on the plywood correspond to foundation block modules and windows so that the simple forms are crisp and clear.
