CORY HENRY
HOUSE

Wrapped in wood, the exterior changes with shifting sunlight and shadow throughout the day. In the evening, the edges of the home disappear, and light passes between the wood slats and through the large windows, transforming the home into a surface of light.

The expansive home is organized around a garden courtyard that floods the residence with daylight and creates a defining sight line; from the living room, through the courtyard, into the kitchen, and out to large backyard to the north.

 

Upstairs, three bedrooms, including the primary suite, each frame a different view of the neighborhood through generous picture windows.
