Olson Kundig The ‘Sawmill’

30/6/2018

1 Comment

 
High in the arid Californian desert, a family retreat effortlessly transforms off-grid into high style. Seattle-based Olson Kundig Architects have taken inspiration from the idea of tents around a campfire. The result is stunning sustainability.
​
A hearth forms the centrepiece of this getaway residence, called 'Sawmill'. Three wings radiate from the centre, with a fourth provided by a patio when a huge sliding window is wound open, using an old wheel. What the architects call "a scavenging mentality" informs the structure, with as many materials as possible being salvaged or recycled.

Being an architect has always been my dream. Ever since I was a kid, I already knew how to admire architecture. Well, my father was an engineer, so it kind of runs in our blood. Of course, I am not as good as he is, but I sure as hell want to be like him. I want to study architecture and at least make it to the top. I have a lot of plans that I want to pursue in my lifetime.
