GEOTHERMAL HOUSE: Maryann Thompson Architects

    Growing up in a Marcel Breuer House would make one no stranger to modernist aesthetic and space. Thus, architect Maryann Thompson was privileged to come across such clients when she was commissioned to design a house for a family of four that would open up to the outdoors rather than shutting it out. Thompson's Geothermal House, as it came to be called, unfolds in "layers of interlocking spaces." As one travels from the northern public side of the house to the southern, more private end, one follows the sun's path, naturally stepping down the sloping site. Continually referencing the outside through the interior of the house, the horizontal planes jut out into the landscape.
