Loblolly House by Kieran Timberlake Associates
The Loblolly house designed by Kieran Timberlake Associates, is a residential architecture project located in Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay, or by its Algonquin name: “great shellfish bay”, a semi-enclosed coastal body of water with a great connection to the open sea.
Inspired by the area’s tall pines, this 2,200 square-foot single family residence is positioned between a dense grove of loblolly pines and a lush foreground of saltmeadow cordgrass and the bay.
In order to fuse the natural elements with the architectural design, the house location is defined by the elements of trees, tall grasses, the sea, the horizon, the sky and the western sun. I especially liked the concept of placing the house on timber piles foundations, minimizing the disruption to the ground while literally dwelling in a house among and within the trees.
The most exciting new news? The Loblolly house is slated to go into mass production with Steve Glenn’s Living Homes prefab development company - meaning some day admirers will be able to purchase their own version of this gorgeous home at an affordable price.
