A couple of days ago we featured Saucier + Perrotte’s proposal for the Fallingwater On-Site Cottages Competition in Mill Run, Pennsylvania, USA. Today, Wendell Burnette Architects | Michael Boucher Landscape Architecture shared with us their proposal, which received second place. More images and architect’s description after the break.
Our proposal for the fallingwater cottages is about receding into the edge condition between forest and field. It is against object architecture and instead is for an architecture that fosters authentic experience of place. Cottages are sited out of the field as was the Kirkpatrick House, which respected the field as a working farm and the ecotone or “edge community” as a refuge of shade and as a place of prospect.
