Indeed, by the talent and many years of experience, the architects brings the artwork of architecture design which meets the homeowner’s requirement and showcases the sophisticated design as well. The front of the house articulated, but mainly solid, offers private spaces. Also, the back of the house is entirely open to a reflecting pool and garden to connect the nature.

The exerior of the home is prominent with the materials of mainly wood, and steel in the necessary position. Hence, the house brings the rustic and close to nature, yet solid and steady. Besides, the main level guest suite can be accessed directly from the front entry, and a large sliding panel can separate the guest suite from the rest of the house. On the other hand, the exquisite design in the living spaces such as living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom offers the comfort and luxury for the owner.

In addition to this, the house also provides other amenities for the daily life. the basement, which contains a three-car garage, a large workshop, storage, mechanical rooms, and a wine and fitness space, bound by concrete walls. The main level is brick and glass, with brick wrapping into interior spaces in several locations. Besides, the upper level is clad in charred Atlantic White Cedar and shelters the open main level public spaces.

The HUUS House Gallery:

Text by the Architects: HUUS was designed for a Swiss couple, one an eccentric electrical engineer and the other a German teacher, who has lived in Raleigh for thirty years. Their children are older and live far away. The program includes a ground-level guest suite to accommodate long stays they and other distant families make on a regular basis. The house is located between much smaller houses. To mitigate this mismatch, the supporting program, including the garage, is buried. The ground level is an attenuated “T” shape to further reduce the perceived scale. The upper-level volume recedes from the street.
