Buzzard Rock


Lake Barkley, Kentucky
Designed: 1998
Unbuilt

This house was designed for a specific site overlooking Lake Barkley in Kentucky. The requirements of the project were to design a home around 600 square feet for a retired client who is single. I used the idea of a studio apartment with all open space. The only interior door is to the bathroom.

The kitchen and bedroom are pushed to the back for added privacy while the front room is a large open space with high ceilings to enjoy the views. Large overhangs help protect the glass from too much sunlight. A large deck with the same flooring material as inside extends the perception of the living area and blurs the line of inside/outside space.
