Midwest Rural House


Architecture mediates the opposing forces of domestic life and the American Midwestern landscape
Traces of the former agricultural field are exploited and built upon to create a modern regional home in Michigan. PLY Architects of Ann Arbor developed the design as a spatial exploration of the rural American landscape as manipulated by the Jeffersonian Grid, exploring the relationships between the agrarian landscape and domestic life.

Connections are made between inside and out; primary interior spaces are linked to reciprocal landscape elements, relating the domestic rituals with the grided landscape and creating a symbiosis between daily life and place.
