Located on a 54 acre meadow in connecticut surrounded by 250 year-old oak trees and historic low stacked stone walls, the '18.36.54 house' by daniel libeskind uses a faceted structure to frame dynamic views from all angles of the site. photographer nikolas koenig has shared exclusive images with us showing the various angles of the project. the 2000 square-foot home is conceived as a continuously folding ribbon structure of 18 planes, 36 points and 54 lines. its outer skin is comprised of reflective copper panels, continuing the natural material palette as it stands visibly independent of its surroundings.
The interior is rendered in deep-toned wooden planks that provide a warm elegant feel to the interior. the wrapping envelope that defines the boundaries of the residence is the basis for all the components of the house, infilled with almost hidden glazed panes that allow fragmented views or entry points for indirect light. the interior reads as a unified volume, where the ribbon intrudes into the ground plane, subtly marking the distinction of programmatic elements or serving multiple purposes as the roof plane folds down into a partition which extends into a piece of furniture.
