Blue Grass Residence




Blue Grass Residence


Location: Durham, NC
Size: 5,000 sf

Role: Architect of Record

Set within a natural clearing between two distinct forest types, Blue Grass Residence is a sustainable family residence constructed using Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) for its structural, thermal, and acoustic benefits. The design centers around a pinwheeled layout with large windows and open spaces that draw in daylight and frame the forested surroundings.

Prefabricated CLT panels allow for fast, low-impact assembly on site. Integrated solar energy, rainwater harvesting, and careful building orientation support long-term energy efficiency and environmental stewardship. The project demonstrates how high-performance timber construction can coexist beautifully with sensitive landscapes.

Team: Lindsey Wikstrom, Jean Suh, Emma Jurczynski
