Rural Studio

• Vents are located near the roof of the house which may be opened to allow for air circulation in the warmer months, or shut in the winter months to trap hot air inside the house.

• A wall-mounted exhaust fan and operable clerestory windows draw air through the building.

• In winter, awning-style panels cover the clerestories, and a wood-burning stove keeps the one-bedroom house snug.

• The dramatic roof is to channel the cool breeze and maximize the natural ventilation.

• The roof material is tin and the envelope is clad in heart pine recycled from a 105-year-old church.

• The roof is angled to collect rainwater into a cistern. This gray water system is used to wash clothes and flush toilets.
