A House for Robeson Meadows
A House for Robeson Meadows
Champaign, Illinois
The house is imbedded into the landscape of a typical suburban subdivision to suggest a sustainable alternative to the developers’ standard box. The existing earth berm, used to shield the residential site from a busy road along the southern edge, was extended into the site, merging with the house form and transforming the garage form into an earthen mound. Within the limited area of a small suburban site, landscape and architecture are integrated into a single geometric composition.
