ILSH Adaptive Reuse
A contemporary residential facade study demonstrating the combination of vertical timber siding, mixed roof forms, and integrated garage and outdoor terrace zones.
- What we like about this project
- The shift from a standing seam hipped roof on the left volume to a gabled roof on the right adds playful roofline variation.

- Geometry
- Asymmetrical two-story composition combining a hipped-roof volume on the left and a gabled-roof volume on the right, connected by a recessed central entry recess.
- Facade system
- Vertical wood plank rainscreen cladding over structured framing with punched and full-height glazed openings.
- Structural guess
- Wood frame construction with concrete slab-on-grade foundation.
- Spatial scale
- Two-story residential scale, comfortably fitting into standard suburban lot dimensions.
- Lighting
- Soft dusk or dawn lighting with interior warm illumination glowing through windows and subtle garden path lighting.
- Atmosphere
- Warm and welcoming evening atmosphere with glowing windows balancing the cool tones of dusk.
- Environmental context
- Suburban residential neighborhood context with mature trees, neighboring homes, and structured front landscaping.
- Spatial experience
- The approach moves from a concrete driveway and landscaped front terrace into a clearly articulated, human-scaled entry porch.
- Composition rhythm
- Balanced asymmetry with vertical timber joints creating a continuous rhythmic pattern across the facade volumes.
