Designed as a companion guest residence to the Folded Glass House, the Guest House continues the study of an architecture derived from the fractured rock and deep forests of the site. Here the concrete walls and the large planes of glass follow the irregular pattern of the fractures in the underlying ledge stone, evoking a sense of a geode being extruded from the rock. A simple, rational steel and heavy timber roof cover the irregular plan and provide shade and shelter to the space below.
