A House Concept, Delhi, New York (homage to Roger Williams)
Date of Sketch: November 7, 2015
Memories of a recent summer visit to Delhi, NY and sculptor/architect Roger William's studio, were sparked by the Boston Symphony's fall performance of Schumann's "Rhenish Symphony." The house, conceived as a 100' long concrete platform, is raised 14' above grade on a high meadow, and wrapped in a folded spiral of Corten steel. Interior surfaces are heavily insulated, finished in unpainted hard-troweled white plaster, and enclosed in low-iron insulating glass.
