Field House: Birdseye - Masterpiece Series

A striking addition to the Birdseye Masterpiece series celebrating sustainable and innovative rural modernism. Field House showcases a distinctive Rhode Island residence designed by the award-winning Vermont architecture and building firm Birdseye. Fronted by an open meadow and otherwise surrounded by a deciduous forested hillside, the minimalistic design of the home engages the landscape and is an exercise of contrasts. Featuring an introduction by the renowned architecture critic Aaron Betsky as well as in-depth analysis, sumptuous photographic documentation and detailed plans and diagrams, this volume explores every stage of the design and building process, from its conception to the stunning end result. It thus offers valuable insight into how an award-winning residence like Field House came into being, showing how brilliant design, thoughtful landscaping and a harmonious philosophy can come together to create a subtle architectural masterpiece. The residence is composed of two separate gable volumes: a two-story main house and a one-story garage, knitted together with a perpendicular exterior walkway buttressed with an intermittent full-height site wall.
