1. Overlooking almost 200 acres, the Lookout was approached as a piece of sculpture for art consulting and collecting clients. Jennifer Hughes Photography
2. A rainscreen clad Owner's Bath and outdoor Planter are supported by steel posts surrounding a Screened Porch that rests on a brick plinth. Jennifer Hughes Photography
3. The raised planter and seasonal plantings adjacent to the Bathroom reinforce a pause for contemplation and connection to the natural world as well as privacy. Jennifer Hughes Photography
4. The Lookout uses windows sparingly with just a small punch in the Water Closet and saves the large glass expanse for the long views of the adjacent landscape. Jennifer Hughes Photography
5. The second story roof planter immediately connects those inside the Bathroom to the seasonal shifts in nature while also capturing rainwater and roof runoff. Jennifer Hughes Photography
6. The spaces and glazing were positioned to create a choreography that eschewed the need for interior doors and encouraged the connection to the landscape through long views. Jennifer Hughes Photography
7. Pickets under the railing were deemed unnecessary due to the structural nature of the screens, allowing open views. Jennifer Hughes Photography
8. The original wood-burning fireplace was removed to become the primary access to the Screened Porch, enhancing views and passive cooling. Jennifer Hughes Photography
