2009 AIANC Design Awards - Wellons House - Merit (Unbuilt)

Architect: Kenneth E. Hobgood, architects - Located in eastern North Carolina, the Wellons house site is surrounded on all sides by wheat fields, which change dramatically each season, providing an ever-changing character to the site. Conceived as a cubic volume, the Wellons house references simply massed farm structures prevalent throughout North Carolina. By shifting the lower section the created void becomes a glass-enclosed living room. The living room, 2.5 ft. below grade, accentuates the surrounding fields. The shifted lower section contains the support spaces and tractors. In the upper section, a large volume is clad in metal siding. Wood clad bedrooms hover above the living space.
