Outpost by Olson Kundig Architects
Posted on 12. Jan, 2011 in Architecture

The Outpost Residence is centered around a main living space from which you can access the bedroom from a narrow staircase. From the outside, the building looks minimalistic and made of concrete blocks and a large window.
From Olson Kundig Architects:
Set in the remote and harsh high desert landscape of Idaho, Outpost is a residence and studio/workshop for making and displaying art. An important aspect of the complex is the protected “paradise garden,” which is separated from the wild landscape by thick concrete walls. The materials used in the structure, including concrete block, car-decking, and plywood, require little or no maintenance, and are capable of withstanding the extreme weather that characterize the desert’s four seasons.
