Millbrook House Design by Thomas Phifer
Mill Brook Houses were designed by Thomas Phifer is an architecture design of discrete geometric objects in a heroic landscape choreographers road mediation unfolds a sequence of thresholds and points of view have built the site of 200 hectares, located in Millbrook, New York, USA. At Millbrook, the first look of the form has built a cantilevered, steel weatherproof box, guest house, facing a limit in the parking lot. Deep red, steel panels surmounted forming a retaining wall that extends from the studio just up the hill, steadily increase with metal sheets from Bluestone steps set into the hillside, as if stepping stone into a pool water.
The climb reached the summit of the hill, a grassy hill, flanked by a rectangular glass pavilion along one side to the other side, a series of four small quantities of mahogany-wrapped, as pure and distilled in their geometric repetition as a minimalist sculpture. This arrangement on the netting long valley view of the Hudson, recalled vista prisoners gesture by Thomas Jefferson University of Virginia and Louis Kahn's Salk Institute.
The glass pavilion is located in Millbrook with lightness and transparency so that the ground seems to flow uninterrupted on the carpet of grass surrounding. After crossing the threshold of the living room-kitchen, open view, radical and in all directions.
This quantity is clearly against monolithic clad wood windows approach opaque mahogany shells echo the rich, earthy hues of patinated steel. Even seemingly independently. Home design and its counterparts in the timber while inside the house, under the grassy enclosure Each mahogany box, partially buried in sloping ground, is a private cabin for sleeping and bathing, came less than a high Glass Pavilion. As if from scratch, these high cabin ceiling, an intimate relationship with the landscape. In counterpoint to the pole hill visually expansive, open only the morning sun, east, each with its own bamboo garden and meadows beyond.
