Structural Dossier

Monolithic limestone architectural envelope

Calculated along precise solar orientations, the primary volume pairs monolithic Indiana limestone with board-formed concrete to establish thermal inertia and uninterrupted sightlines.

Material Specifications

Tactile Structural Integrity

Masonry

Quarried Indiana Limestone

Selected dimensional ashlar blocks hand-set over high-density insulation. The honed surface balances natural mineral veining with crisp, plumb structural reveals across the outer perimeter.

Fenestration

Custom Extruded Steel

Thermally broken structural steel window profiles finished in matte charcoal. Massive floor-to-ceiling glass apertures frame private garden vistas while exceeding modern acoustic and energy standards.

Joinery

Unlacquered Patinated Brass

Precision-milled interior hardware engineered for tactile resistance. Components are specified to oxidize naturally through occupant touch, cultivating a gradual patina across years of residence.

Reinforced Concrete Core

Envelope & Weatherproofing

Mechanical & Joinery

Deep pier excavations, seismic perimeter footings, and waterproofed retaining walls anchored into bedrock to secure lifelong structural stability.

Pouring of board-formed concrete shear walls and multi-level floor plates, establishing the acoustic boundary and spatial proportions.

Setting quarried stone ashlar masonry, structural steel framing, and multi-pane low-E glass assemblies for an airtight exterior shell.

Installation of multi-zone climate conditioning, bespoke architectural millwork, concealed electrical runs, and master-level stone slab paving.
