University of Washington launches sustainability program with national leaders in architecture
January 28, 2008 /
Carefully tucked into a stand of pines on the Maryland shore, Loblolly House is a study in the pragmatic and the poetic.
Three sides are faced with bark-like strips of red cedar but the fourth opens to the water. Completely. Translucent hangar doors retract and glass walls fold like accordions, opening the 2,200-square-foot house to Chesapeake Bay.
The house was built in six weeks using off-site fabricated parts locked into place by half a dozen workers. It can also be taken apart and the pieces recycled.
