1998 NARI Grand and National CoTY, Entire House

This lovely Usonian Style Wright house was destroyed by fire. Everything left of the landscaped area is new and was built by ALWARD CONSTRUCTION. The original design and pallet of materials was adhered to throughout. Pictured here are the old-growth clear redwood custom board and bat wall system and custom redwood siding boards for the overhanging eaves; concrete masonry block with raked horizontal grout joints; perforated boards for bathroom windows; clear redwood mullions, doors and windows; eave light boxes; copper fascia. “Skylights” in the patio cantilever over koi pond, earlier converted from a swimming pool. Cherokee Red concrete, scored on a 4 x 4 grid, is typical of many Wright Usonian houses.
