Waterfront House

Beach House by Michael Haverland Architect in East Hampton, NY

From the initial approach, this house appears to be two opaque volumes. They are articulated with textured concrete panels, hand cast from computer-generated 20" x 20" foam molds and made from sand from the site, establishing a contextual connection with nature and the land. Two dynamic patterns, one horizontal and one vertical, weave together to create a complex plaid that captures light and shadow on the curvilinear forms. The panels clip to masonry walls and act as a rain screen.
