Architecture Design of Mural House

Description About The Project

Mural House with contemporary aesthetic style by Birdseye Design is a prominent project which located on a corner lot with a sloping landscape backed pine trees to the East and distant lake and mountain views to the West.

For this house, the clients desired a contemporary aesthetic follow the ideology of Ezra Pound’s simple but elegantly stated principal, “Make it New.” Conceptually the design reflects the ideology. By recognizing the “it” as the vernacular, the engagement of contemporary orthogonal forms floating above and congruent with the slope redefine the conventional interaction of the two. Thus establish a new relationship within a defined context.

In addition to this, the structure composed of two opposing cantilevered forms cascading downhill within the sloping landscape. The black-stained cedar forms visually separated with a glass transom to accentuate the division between the upper and lower forms. The large – scale western window openings create a visual connection to the streetscape. While the landscape walls and courtyard space provide a privacy from the closeness of the neighboring homes, public sidewalk and the road intersection at the corner lot.

Once inside, the house designed for living with art. The main entry opens into a transom – lit gallery space with large – scale paintings visible from the adjacent kitchen, living and dining areas. Also, the open staircase provides a narrow glimpse to the large – scale painted mural by local artist Clarke Derbes that is on full display in the master bedroom on the upper level.
