The Bridge House is located in Kent, Connecticut, USA, Between high cliffs and the river Housantonic, not far from Kent Falls State Park. The park has a number of beautiful waterfalls and a historic covered bridge. For architects Joeb Moore + Partners ArchitectsThis environment was a source of inspiration for the conceptual design of the Bridge House.
In a land of streams and water steps, the new proposal is presented as ship and bridge, taking a bit of both. The volume appears in the landscape, to stand on its topography, following the logic offered by the site. The amount is deposited, like a bridge over heavy concrete structures, referring to the rocks in the landscape. Inside the concreted structure, is part of most private housing, room.
The second level, constructed from a wooden structure, is for the public spaces of the house. Being in height, the view obtained from the landscape, each of these spaces, is privileged. The property is accessed from the second level, quickly taking the feeling of entering a building in suspension. The effect is produced with the right distance between support and support generated. (Blocks of concrete containing the rooms). The proposal varies from a tree house, camping or a cave.
