House In The Meadow
A contemporary rural residence by Beinfield Architecture PC that reinterprets traditional agrarian gabled forms through corrugated metal cladding and expansive vertical glazing.
- What we like about this project
- The transition from corrugated metal siding on the primary gable to patterned shingle siding on the subsidiary volume creates a playful textural contrast.

- Geometry
- An assembly of gabled volumes linked in an elongated pavilion layout, punctuated by large vertical curtain wall glazing on the primary gable end and rhythmically spaced punched openings along the connecting wings.
- Facade system
- Corrugated metal panel siding combined with shingle roofing and extensive wood-framed or metal-framed glazing.
- Structural guess
- Timber frame construction with steel reinforcement for large double-height glazed openings.
- Spatial scale
- Two-story residential scale featuring expansive double-height gable ends and intimate human-scaled connecting porches.
- Lighting
- Twilight exterior condition with warm interior lighting glowing through large windows, contrasting against the cool blue evening sky.
- Atmosphere
- Serene, warm, and inviting as the interior lights pierce the cool evening twilight across the meadow.
- Environmental context
- Rural or semi-rural meadow setting featuring manicured lawns, perennial garden beds with spherical flower heads, and surrounding mature trees.
- Spatial experience
- Approached across landscaped meadow beds, the sprawling house presents distinct domestic volumes that glow from internal illumination at dusk, balancing transparency with protective corrugated massing.
- Composition rhythm
- Asymmetric rhythm of gabled pavilions connected by lower horizontal glazed wings, creating a horizontal sprawl anchored by the tall vertical window grid.
