The pool next to the community space makes a connection here between the building and the outdoor scenery. The cellar is home to a wine cellar with optimal temperature and illumination and art & high-tech cinematic space. Beside the river lies a fire pit, surrounded by cozy chairs covered in hot sheep’s skin.
The minute detailing
Grayish rocks, mahogany timber, detailed topography, and the surrounding countryside and river are blended to make River House look like part of the natural world. The structural vocabulary, generated from surfaces of various materials, devalues the texture of the landscape. Through this, heavy materials such as rock formations and concrete give a softer feel.
The River House building was constructed with a steel frame that makes for expansive rooms with high ceilings and double-height heights. Earth-tone painting stones were used on the exterior. Glazed roof tiles, Alamo wooden window covers, railings, and black metal frames.
