Pine Planes, NY, USA.
Goodman House contains a tranported and reerected Dutch barn frame. The client's affection for the antiquated timber combined with their desire for an excessivly lit and predominantly undivided interior did not allow for the reintroduction of the mazzanines and partitions that typically stabilize barn structures from within. Therefore, lateral structural stability has been reintroduced by a steel frame surrounding the barn. A curtain wall, with irregularly destributed windows, wraps the peripheral steel frame. The modernist paradigm of construction is more fiting to a commercial building that to a house.
