TRUSS HOUSE

 

This single-level residence combines a high-end custom window wall system with roof framing inspired by common pole barn construction. 

The repetitive roof-trusses allow for a clear span of 43’ from front to back, with both ends landing along a slightly bent bar plan. Within this clear span, window walls of 10' tall sliding glass and interior partial walls can be located wherever desired.

The result is an all-open layout that maximizes views of the surrounding fields, hills and sky.
