Turkey Foot, Kentucky 2001
The sharply rolling landscape of northern Kentucky provides the backdrop for this house. My early sketches of this project revolved around the anchoring brick chimney and the creation of an arithmetic space (garden) between the building and the rugged farmland beyond.

The house was designed for two retired friends, so the program requires two of everything—two gardens, two garage stalls, two offices, two master suites and two belvederes at the front porch that create a balance and equality for both owners.

I have sought to make a small and quiet universe in and around this house and in so doing move again toward the essence of naturalness that allows the building and gardens to rest easily on the top of this ridge.
