Architectural Study Project
Klamath River, California
David Goldman Architect, 1998 |
| |
| Clients who I had worked with previously bought a remote plot of land along the Klamath River in northern California. While they wanted to build similar to their prior house, I saw an opportunity to explore the architecture of self sustainability on this exceptional site. The terraced south facing property has a fresh water spring and river frontage. The secluded location has no utilities or services. |
| |
| This project uses a contour line along a terraced edge to differentiate between in and out, between conditioned and unconditioned spaces. The residence consists of a main cabin, pool, guest cabin and small office, which are created by manipulating the line. Each element is generated by the line interacting with a circle. |
| |
 |
| |
| The interiors are earth sheltered structures, each with a solid element. The solids have several functions; organize the spaces within each unit, provide additional thermal mass, the stack ventilation chimney and as a base for the solar array. |
| |
|
| |
| The energy is provided by photovoltaic panels and solar thermal panels at each element except the pool, which is a link in the hydro electric generating system that takes advantage of the onsite spring. A wind turbine is also added to further diversify the power supply. All of the energy production and storage components are housed in detached rooms located near each unit. |
