Peponi Pine Lodge is a 4,000 square foot, 1 story residence with 6 car garage, located out in the piney woods of east Texas. The key to the design was maximizing the natural lighting into the heart of the interior, as well as frame the beautiful views of the surrounding forest. This house is a testament to what can be done with cement-fiber lapped siding. If you really take the time and come up with great details, this material can be as nice as natural stone or stained wood. The almost all white color scheme gives this home a cathedral-like quality, which stands out against the browns and greens of the trees. The homeowners are as happy as I am with the finished product.

Split into two floors, the proposal revolves around two dis- :nct rela:ons of use, based on the use of gaps/yards – whether exogenous or endogenous – corresponding to the type of program which they restrict (social or private). For the social areas of the habita:on, exogenous gaps/yards have been established to allow a plurality in the interior/ exterior rela:ons of the house, as well as to expand the habitable surface when the window frames are fully open.
