IT HOUSE

The IT HOUSE Component Package combines materials and technology that are visually compatible and clip together with simple details. As the elements of the house are components they are extremely pliable and can create a wide range of floor plans to suit any site and client.

The essential components of the IT HOUSE are the flexible aluminum frame, both for structure and wall framing, an acoustical steel deck roof, aluminum framed glazing system primarily consisting of large sliding doors, panelized enclosure system, and built in cabinetry. The framing system can be used to easily create fully or lightly enclosed spaces, exterior courtyards or screened in porches.

The IT HOUSE can be completely off-grid, generating its own heating and energy reinforcing the goal of achieving a minimal building footprint. Energy efficiency is achieved in the IT House through passive heating and cooling, utilizing site orientation and cross ventilation, radiant floor heating, hi-efficacy appliances & equipment and the use of solar photovoltaic & thermal panels.

Build Kindness Not Walls Jessica Walsh & Timothy Goodman

From the artists:

“This is bigger than just Trump. This is about the DNA of our country. This is about the systematic racism and sexism that still exists every day. This is about Trump preying on the fears of the “Other.” And all of these visceral feelings are bubbling to the top as his supporters show us on a daily basis.”

“We need to continue to use our voices on social media, and in peaceful, non-violent ways, to remind the world that our country is about inclusion, and that we do not share Trump’s intolerance and hatred. America is NOT one nationality, one race, or one religion. America is a diverse mix of backgrounds, religions, races, sexual orientations, and ethnicities. That’s what makes our country great.”

Onde Elles Moran (Where They Live) Guy Laramée

This project is inspired by two trips to a region of southern Brazil called Serra do Corvo Branco(Range of the White Raven). Aparados da Serra is a specific mountain pass that is part of a hundred mile long line of canyons, where the high plateau sinks down near to sea level – a 5000 foot drop over one mile, creating a dramatic topography of crevasses and needles, somewhat covered with the dense vegetation of the Matta Atalantica, the eco system with the highest biodiversity in the world. It is said that this fault line is actually the true topographical divide between Africa and South America.

The series is composed of nine book sculptures each of which have as a central feature a two sided work: the front and back covers painted, the inner pages carved. I found the books in various second hand bookstores, in Florianopolis – the capital of Santa Catarina. They are all tomes of the Classicos Jackson, a series of literature classics published in the ‘50s in Brazil. I Was greatly seduced by their rich, linen covers. The faded jade tones of the fabric inspired most of my palette for the paintings.
