The Summer House–the third project in its series of houses–was conceived as a component system in the lineage of structurally expressive Modernist experiments such as Paul Rudolf’s Walker Guest House and Michael and Patricia Hopkins’ Hi-Tech residence in Hampstead, London. The Summer House attempts to reconcile a tectonic interest in systems that deploy prefabricated kits of parts, video game environments, rigorous geometric compositional structures, and painterly graphic systems. 

The Summer House was designed as part of a research project supported by a Pietro Belluschi Fellowship at the MIT School of Architecture + Planning. Fabrication for Summer House was sponsored by Substrate Fabrication in Long Island City, New York.
