unusual profiles emerge on all four elevations as the six gable roofs are cut at the perimeter’s massing. from a curb­side view, an asymmetrical and unfamiliar form replaces the traditional gable elevation house. The house sits on a plot that measures just 24 feet wide (7.3 meters) and has a width of just 18 feet (5.5 meters) - the same size as a single-­wide mobile home. The house is one of only two residences in the US made of cross-­laminated timber ‘the roof plan establishes rooms, catwalks, and double height spaces in the interior by aligning these spaces to ridges and valleys in the roof above,’ explains bonner, who is also associate professor of architecture and director of the master in architecture II program at harvard GSD. a cluster of six gable roofs have been combined to form a single roof, which, in turn, defines and organizes the floor plan. Through her design, jennifer bonner - who leads art and architecture studio MALL - sought to challenge notions of the domestic interior through materiality, color, and form. the house is one of only a handful of residences in the country made of cross laminated timber (CLT), an exceptionally strong wood material produced by gluing together layers of lumber.Īll images by NAARO, unless otherwise stated bonner has continued her interest in the subject with her latest project ‘haus gables’ - a completed residence in the old fourth ward neighborhood of atlanta, georgia.

the display, which comprised 16 unique massing models, called for designers to consider misbehavior in architecture, particularly at the roofline. In 2014 jennifer bonner presented ‘domestic hats’, an exhibition that explored ordinary roof typologies in the united states.
