01. Flower House

No Architecture’s second major residential project after Courtyard House, Flower House in the Berkshires reinterprets and expands on the glass house typology through its dynamic relationship to the native landscape and a plan configuration that organizes the six interlocking pavilions into “petals” around a central open courtyard that create a 360-degree view. Treating the space below each canopy as a pavilion, passive heating and cooling, solar access and natural ventilation optimize comfortability for the rituals of daily life.
