A home becomes a series of stories that shape it, leaving their plots as unique
details throughout the home. Here are three of the many stories 65 Aerie Drive tells:

Dinner Under the Stars: The dining room table and light are the homes most direct
attempt to blur the boundaries between inside and out. The table continues

through the window with ten feet inside and over four feet extending outside.
We designed and fabricated custom light fixtures to mirror the tables extension into
the landscape. But the continuity of form from inside to out is not the only way the

light creates a connection to the natural environment. The light that illuminates the
table is in the pattern of the stars, as if the roof was stripped away and meals were
shared under the nights sky. The star pattern from the exact location of the table

was taken from the night we broke ground on the home and was drilled into the
metal light using different sized holes for the intensity of the star.

The Slate Site: During the excavation we encountered tightly layered slate in
many areas. To respect the natural site conditions and highlight their beauty, we
used slate as the flooring for the entry level and to cover the walls and ceiling of

the tunnel. Therefore, the experience of walking through the tunnel becomes a
genuine experience of the natural conditions that predated the home.

The Wall of Aspens: The tunnel intentionally becomes a moment of compression
as the home is experienced. This heightens the feeling of release that is felt on the
other side. As the turn at the end of the tunnel is made, a series of Aspen trees

inside the home celebrates this moment of release by bringing an element of
outside in.

EVERY. DETAIL. MATTERS.
