Oak Grove House

Oak Grove House is a new one-story, single-family residence set in a clearing ringed with old-growth trees and historic stacked stone walls. Intended to focus views outward to the tranquil landscape, the living and dining space facade includes large expanses of glazing on three sides, large sliding doors, and a continuous clerestory. The steel structure of this glass jewel box, centered in the home, supports wood roof joists and an aluminum pergola structure and was designed and coordinated to fit within the mullion system while adhering to strict vertical and horizontal deflection limits around the large sliding units. Thermal brake connections for the pergola supports, which frame in below the clerestory, were detailed to fit within the thin ribbon of facia.
