Liz Dolinar: Looking Out Week 11

This is the Letterbox House by McBride Charles Ryan Architecture in Victoria, Australia. This project is a residential home with an engaging shape and timber exterior. The planks add a great texture to the exterior walls, adding visual interest and emphasizing the angles. The wood of this project "wraps" from the front deck to the vertical walls to the "ceiling" of the deck. This continuity provides us with an understanding of the separate elements (broadly, "plinth," "wall," and "canopy"), while allowing the exterior to still appear as one unit of the facade as it ribbons across the side of the house.
