Architecturefirm

Based in New York and Richmond, Architecturefirm articulates a refined tectonic language marked by the contrast of heavy brick and timber massing with delicate shading louvers, slender columns, and deep shadow-casting overhangs across cultural, commercial, and multi-family developments. This work serves as a strong reference when designing ground-floor pilotis beneath dense residential volumes, articulating crisp masonry reveals against historic contexts, or integrating continuous overhead shading devices to tune interior light.

Single-story timber pavilion with corrugated roof and wraparound porch set in a meadow by Architecturefirm.

Single-story timber pavilion with corrugated roof and wraparound porch

A rural pavilion precedent featuring a timber structure, wraparound shaded porch, and low hipped roof, ideal for open-landscape architectural integration.

What we like about this project
The deep porch overhang completely shields the vertical wood siding in shadow, creating a strong horizontal contrast.

Geometry
Low-slung rectangular pavilion with a hipped corrugated roof, supported by regular thin vertical columns forming a deep shaded porch.
Facade system
Vertical timber board siding paired with an open-column porch structure.
Structural guess
Timber post-and-beam construction with lightweight roof trusses.
Spatial scale
Human-scale single-story pavilion where porch heights match comfortable residential proportions.
Lighting
Bright midday sun casting crisp, short shadows under the eaves and across the timber deck.
Atmosphere
Calm, sunlit rural retreat connecting interior deck life directly to surrounding meadow grasses.
Environmental context
Open rural meadow or farmland setting with distant trees and scattered low-profile structures.
Spatial experience
The approach moves through open meadow grasses, transitioning under the wide overhang into a shaded outdoor living deck.
Composition rhythm
Steady column spacing along the porch creates a horizontal rhythm bridging interior timber walls and open landscape.
