House in Ghent Ghent, New York, USA 2006-2013

摘要

This weekend house compound, perched on a rock outcropping overlooking the rolling hills of the Hudson River Valley in rural Ghent, New York, is a series of 4 separate pavilions. The concept of the project is to have a minimal footprint on the land, reducing the impact of a single larger house by absorbing smaller pavilions into the landscape. The concept derives from the paradigm of Japanese garden pavilions in Kyoto such as Katsura, where functions are separated and connections are made through walks in the landscape, immersed in changing views and seasonal experiences.
