Justin and Jennifer Beals
Beals Residence
These urban pioneers hired Lightroom to create their new art gallery,
guest house and renovate their existing residence. The concept for this
project is to create a courtyard and outdoor room which has in it's center
a Wrightian disembodied hearth. The fire reflects into a Barnsdall
inspired Koi pond putting fire and water into a dialogue. The dappled
light imbues the entire house at night. The L shaped plan reference a
Usonian precedent but transforms it into a modern art gallery.
Materials: Georgia Cypress, Stained concrete, recycled wood doors,
Storefront passive solar windows, ebony stained oak floors.
