Making progress on the Westport River House

The house as seen from the river
The red cedar frame and brushed aluminum window system is complete other than at the screened porch in the upper right corner
The red cedar frame and brushed aluminum window system is complete other than at the screened porch in the upper right corner
The clear finished walnut fireplace siding and lower level rain-screen will be completed next
The flat abstraction of the house becomes more three dimensional as you approach the house from the river
The two “bars” of the house as seen from the north
From the east, you can see the river-side “bar” sliding out past the shorter and lower shingle-clad eastern “bar”
The eastern “bar” with cantilevered front porch and recessed foundation
The high clerestorey windows bring morning light into the laundry room, guest bath, and home office
View of the screened porch, soon to have their brushed aluminum framed screens and doors installed
The corner window of the kitchen, adjacent to the grilling deck and front porch
Between the living/dining room and screened porch is a bi-folding door system, allowing the two spaces to flow together in good weather
The view from the home office, looking through the woods towards the river
Detail of the inset windows
Detail of the front door and windows
Both the master bedroom and living room are cantilevered out beyond the existing foundation – the living room only by a foot, and the MBR by 3’ – and the volume in between will be sheathed in walnut lap siding
View of the screened porch and river-side deck; below the screened porch will be a storage space with slatted siding
