SHERIDAN_KALORAMA
An exterior residential precedent by Fowlkes Studio illustrating a stepped two-story volume finished in a mix of weathered wood shingles and horizontal siding, emphasizing indoor-outdoor connectivity through large glazed openings.
- What we like about this project
- The upper shingled volume cantilevers or steps out asymmetrically over the lower glazed living room without heavy visible columns.

- Geometry
- Stepped rectilinear volumes featuring contrasting upper shingle cladding and lower horizontal lap siding, punctuated by large, irregularly aligned picture windows and sliding doors.
- Facade system
- Combination of timber shingle cladding on upper levels and horizontal lap siding on the lower volume, with aluminum-framed sliding glass doors and windows.
- Structural guess
- Wood-frame construction with concealed steel lintels supporting large upper openings and cantilevers.
- Spatial scale
- Two-story residential scale with expansive floor-to-ceiling ground-floor glazing and generous upper-level punched windows.
- Lighting
- Late afternoon or dusk ambient light illuminates the interior spaces with a warm golden glow, while the exterior facade catches soft, even daylight.
- Atmosphere
- Warm and inviting, highlighted by the glowing interiors contrasting against the cool twilight or late-day sky.
- Environmental context
- Suburban backyard setting with mature trees, green lawn, and adjacent brick residential structures partially visible.
- Spatial experience
- The facade opens directly onto a gravel patio and manicured lawn, establishing a porous boundary between indoor living spaces and the rear garden.
- Composition rhythm
- Asymmetrical composition balancing solid shingled boxes with transparent voids and horizontal banding.
- Style reading
- Contemporary residential architecture blending traditional shingle vernacular with modern clean-lined fenestration
- Program
- Single-family residential living spaces and rear garden connection
