“Home within the Woods” by Architectural Sources was awarded the ASID NYU / CE and AIA Buffalo Chapter Residential design awards. In regards to the mission:
“Japanese tradition is thought for elevating on a regular basis actions to artistry. When a shopper requested for a standard Japanese bathing expertise inside a up to date residence, it required working inside the limits of an present construction with limitless creativity. This was completed by means of a up to date interpretation of a tree home.
The Home within the Woods is secluded inside woodland that abuts a serious tributary to the Buffalo River. It’s an addition to a residence initially constructed within the 1970’s. Probably the most notable design characteristic is the transition from the main bedroom space, generally known as the Dice, to the tree home. The suspended glass-enclosed stroll lets you step away from the day by day routine within the dwelling to cleanse your physique and thoughts. Placing this walkway on the second flooring created a brand new twist to an historical expertise by connecting you with nature by being immersed among the many timber.
Contained in the tree home sits the precise Hinoki tub, imported from Japan. It’s surrounded on three sides by flooring to ceiling home windows additional enhancing the expertise. Think about this area throughout a snowstorm. Inside, there’s a standard nook the place the bather can sit on a small picket stool and use picket pails to douse oneself with sizzling water earlier than getting into the bathtub. The preparations for the bathtub are described by the shopper as a “fantastic feeling, a kind of ritualistic and meditative bathing.” The Home within the Woods is an area the place simplicity in design enhances rest and rejuvenation. It’s a up to date celebration of custom.”
