310 Decisions
Arrival
Decision
A covered, level entry set out of the wind.
Reason
Prevailing winter wind and drifting were mapped before the plan was fixed.
Resident benefit
Groceries, guests and grandchildren arrive dry, on one plane, every month of the year.
Quiet
Decision
Insulated interior partitions and solid-core doors throughout.
Reason
Acoustic separation is specified room by room, not left to code minimums.
Resident benefit
Quiet is part of the plan — a guest suite and a great room can be used at once.
Light
Decision
Glazing sized and placed per elevation, warm-dimmed to 1%.
Reason
Daylight studies set glass area against orientation and glare, not symmetry.
Resident benefit
Rooms hold their warmth at every hour, with no washed-out afternoons.
Materiality
Decision
Full-depth stone with a drained rainscreen assembly.
Reason
The envelope is detailed as a system that manages water and movement.
Resident benefit
The residence looks and performs the same in year fifteen as in year one.
