House 36 is a monolithic building that resembles a mountain crystal. The angular shell interprets the hillside, roof and walls are cast of the same material. Build entirely out of insulating concrete, the massive walls convey atmosphere, and the large openings bring light. The rough-sawn formwork provides a rich and surface aesthetic similar to a natural stonewall. A quiet material approach selection brings a harmonious balance. The Project has been nominated for Mies van der Rohe Award 2015, Winner of WAN Concrete in Architecture Award 2014, Winner of Iconic Award Architecture Best of Best 2014.
