The owners of this Hopkins two-story home were looking to transform a 3-season porch into a new great room, while adding a finished basement bedroom below and amazing deck above; and make it look like it was always there - part of the original house. The basement was designed and constructed for Minnesota winters. After the site was excavated, new walls were constructed beginning with R-10 Exterior Insulation and waterproofing on a newly poured concrete foundation. Then framing up walls and finally installing the drywall. Drain tile and a sump pump were installed around the perimeter to keep moisture out and the bedroom dry. A second HVAC system was also added to provide separate zoned heating in the basement and first floor. The new basement’s 480 sq. ft. space includes bedroom with large walk-in closet and additional storage accessible from the adjacent existing family room. Two side-by-side egress windows were installed to make this a legal bedroom. The bonus: The windows brighten the bedroom with lots of natural light from a southern exposure. In the exterior photo you can see a unique window well treatment, using larger rocks and boulders to create a natural look while meeting building codes. The first floor Great Room is just that: almost 500 sq. feet of open, bright space off the existing kitchen. Makes home entertaining easy. A sliding glass door and short flight of stairs invites guests into the back yard patio for a bonfire, barbeque, or some putting. The patio features a unique design using stone slabs of varying shapes to create a one-of-a-kind look. On the second floor we replaced a window and added a sliding glass door for easy access to the new deck. It’s made with the same materials and design used on the ground level patio. To keep water, snow, and ice outside the roof is made with a special membrane surrounded by an integral gutter with downspouts. The post-to-post tempered glass railings make this deck feel wide open to a surprisingly secluded back yard. Finally, we used grey cement board for the siding, matching the white trim around doors and windows. This project added almost 1,000 sq. ft. of interior living space and another 500 sq. ft. of second floor deck, constructed in a way to last a lifetime. And the addition really doesn’t look like an addition. It feels wide open to a surprisingly secluded back yard.

Das Chronowerk einer mechanischen Uhr stand Pate bei der Formgebung der inneren Erschließung des Iron Hill Hauses. So wie bei einem Chronograph das Uhrwerk bildet hier die Treppenanlage das Herzstück des Hauses und erfüllt somit eine der wichtigsten „Gangfunktionen“. Für die Bewegung sorgen hier jedoch nicht die mechanischen Teile eines Uhrwerks sondern die Personen selbst, welche sich innerhalb der Treppenanlage bewegen. Die Treppenläufe zwischen den einzelnen Geschossen sollen hier als Abschnitte einer nie endenden Zeitspirale betrachtet werden.

Ce jeune couple souhaitait construire une maison contemporaine dans un paysage verdoyant. Le terrain en longueur, assez étroit au départ s’ouvrait au sud dans sa 2ème partie sur un vaste champ, nu de toute construction. L’idée de la faille est venue de cette volonté d’ouverture dès le passage de la porte d’entrée vers cette perspective visuelle et cette lumière baignant tous les volumes de la maison. L’escalier, happé par cet espace, délimite d’un côté les pièces techniques, de l’autre la suite parentale et la pièce de vie en 3 dimensions. Compacte et fonctionnelle, cette réalisation est baignée par le soleil tout au long de l’année (bandeau est de la cuisine, baies de 3 m de haut sur la mezzanine et trois ouvertures au RDC). Grâce à sa conception bioclimatique et sa pompe à chaleur très performante et peu encombrante (chauffage et ECS), sa consommation énergétique est très faible : 17 kwhep/m2/an. La maison se compose d’une grande pièce de vie de 50m² avec une entrée en double hauteur, une suite parentale et un cellier. L’étage se développe autour de la mezzanine/bureau avec ses deux chambres et sa sdb.

The house is located on a hillside overlooking the Colorado River and mountains beyond. It is designed for a young couple with two children, and grandparents who come to visit and stay for certain period of time. The house consists of a L shaped two-story volume connected by a one-story base. A courtyard with a reflection pool is located in the heart of the house, bringing daylight and fresh air into the surrounding rooms. The main living areas are positioned on the south end and open up for sunlight and uninterrupted views out to the mountains. Outside the dining and living rooms is a covered terrace with a fire place on one end, a place to get directly connected with natural surroundings. Wood screens are located at along windows and the terrace facing south, the screens can move to different positions to block unwanted sun light at different time of the day. The house is mainly made of concrete with large glass windows and sliding doors that bring in daylight and permit natural ventilation. The design intends to create a structure that people can perceive and appreciate both the “raw” nature outside the house: the mountain, the river and the trees, and also the “abstract” natural phenomena filtered through the structure, such as the reflection pool, the sound of rain water dropping into the pool, the light and shadow play by the sun penetrating through the windows, and the wind flowing through the space.
