Wisconsin Field House by Wendell Burnette Architects

This beautiful Wisconsin home by Wendell Burnette Architects reflects the style of the area. Surrounded by farmland with silos and barns, the home was designed as a rectangular box clad in galvanized metal. The large windows open up to a treeline at the edge of a field...

The home has several green features: passive cooling from cross-ventilation, concrete floors and thick masonry walls that hold heat during winter, and lots of natural daylight.

We love the way that storage areas add pattern to the rooms: shelves lined with books add color, while a stockpile of logs adds natural texture.

Space is well-organized with built-ins, modern furnishings, and bursts of pattern. A wood-burning stove helps to heat the home.

Lovely space; the aesthetics of the interior appeal to my sense of home. it just demonstrates once again that much can be done within a simple, streamlined shape and a lack of unnecessary ornamentation. This building could be easily duplicated by others without much difficulty.

My dream home -- Absolutely Gorgeous!

absolutely gorgoeus -- i love how the interior planes correspond to the field outside.

what's the name of the office chair near the laptop?

I love the seamless concept and design of the long floating island/console. A very successful open floor plan where it's not just another kitchen-y kitchen island that *divides* a space/function, but rather a lovely piece of furniture that (happens to have a cooktop integrated and) *shares* a space. Beautiful job.

I'd like to live here . . . view is really nice and love the windows!! Kitchen is super and makes me want to redo mine.
