Buero Wagner designed the House with One Pillar, which are two conjoined homes that are rooted in their plot. It presents a modern take on multigenerational living to honor the location’s past as well. The space one hosted a home first built in the 50s and now, two nearly identical gabled structures stem from a lush base.
These forms are wrapped in a black charred timber material. The homes are joined by the central garages — each one is structured around the idea of a single supporting pillar. This also allows for an open interior space — other details include the monolithic floors, cantilevered steel stairs, and exposed walls made with concrete for an industrial look.
