Rock Creek House has been featured on Detail Magazine. Read the article HERE.

“An essential part of the new design is the revitalization of the historic brick walls. Through careful restoration and combination with modern elements, they shine in new splendor. The frames of the newly positioned windows are even more delicate and filigree compared to the raw walls. Square and oblong, sometimes just as a small opening, next to it is a large, glazed volume: in different sizes and arrangements, the glass surfaces break the picture of the massive views.”

ROCK CREEK HOUSE FEATURED IN THE PLAN

“The same clean-cut order, distribution and formal rigor given to the north and south facades also apply to the interior. The layered plywood that lines walls, partitions off environments and makes up the signature staircase is fully in keeping with the far-reaching structural transformation of the building.”

Above: The Plan’s in-depth analysis of Rock Creek’s structure generated an exclusive vertical section of its construction system. 
 

“Complex forms were obtained by taking sectional cuts reproducing the outline, which when set side by side generated both the structure and the surface area of the piece. The modeling and design engineering phases also took traditional woodworking practices into account. Similarly, the smooth, continuous flow of the wood veins on the panels was achieved by visualizing the joints on the 3D model. The natural phenomenon of wood expansion also had to be taken into account for the more complex plywood pieces on stairs and the top-floor landing, Movement is controlled by special sliding joints placed strategically along the linear handrails.”

“Despite a reputation, among consumers, as some kind of cheap laminate, plywood is adored by many architects for its versatilty, tensile strenght, warm colr, and low cost. Perhaps no one has explored the potential of this humble material as deeply as Nader Tehrnai.Witness how his firm turned a strailaced 1920’s center hall colonial into an eye-popping showcase of plywood ingenuity, a laboratory for innovative mateirals reserach and computer modeling.” – Laura Fisher Kaiser
