The House of Cards

The House of Cards is a student led design build class spanning multiple different architecture classes at different stages. Designed as a competition project for senior architecture students to design an artist retreat in the woods in the same vain as Emerson’s “Walden Pound”. The winning design emulating a simple house of cards that structures itself. The 20’X20’ cabin is made from board form concrete and rigid foam insulation. The concrete walls hold up each other at a slight angle. Later Architecture classes spent time finalizing the design as well as constructing it.
