Anywhere House in Montana /
I just realised that we’ve been neglecting our blog this year!
Things are progressing well in Montana, USA where our first Anywhere House is due to be built over the next 12 months. The site is magnificent, sitting on a hillside at the edge of a large reservoir.
The internal finish in the house is going to be exposed cross laminated timber. Cross laminated timber are structural panels that are made to order and robotically cut to size in the factory, so they arrive on site as a flat pack kit of parts. By keeping the CLT exposed we will get the dual benefits of the texture of the timber and a lovely crisp geometry.
Outside the house is going to be clad in charred timber on the walls and black zinc on the roof.
The image above is of the entrance to the house.

This home made out of tiny units can be built in any configuration and proves prefab architecture doesn't have to be boring
It's terrific to have an article in Business Insider about The Anywhere House. There have been a couple of articles about the Anywhere House in major publications in the last few weeks and we are now in conversation with people from Israel, Egypt, Sweden, Italy, USA, Panama… the list goes on and on. A giant thank you to Mary Meisenzahl for shining a light on a project that I am very proud of, it’s really appreciated.
Iterations of a Garage /
Here are a small collection of the iterative maquette models for the garage at the Anywhere House in Canada. Because the rest of the house has been split down into individual rooms the scale of a garage seems huge in comparison. The right answer ended up lying in breaking the garage bulk down, giving it the appearance of two conjoined volumes, each comparable in scale to the other volumes in the house.
