Tidewater Featured on Archello — Kipp Architecture

Randall Kipp Architecture’s work, Tidewater, was recently featured on Archello.com.

The structure is approximately 4,000 sq. ft. The concept is to anchor the building around a high ceiling space called the Gallery. All of the secondary spaces nest adjacent to and around the Gallery. The Gallery is a narrow space of 20 feet in width. The notion is that it is a tall, transparent module allowing a view from the approach side of the house and out to the River beyond.

The Gallery separates the two wings of the house: Master and Guest.
The Home is set on a plinth base to elevate it from tidal flooding and hurricanes. Equally, the added elevation gives the home a prominence, raising it off the ground plane.

Shallow reflecting pools “hook” the corners of the approach side of the house. Stone slabs are layered across the pools creating a bridge to the 7-foot-wide, 11-foot-tall front door. The Landscape Architecture is of Asian influence; using boulders and indigenous plantings to focus energy ultimately leading the guests to the front door, through the home, to the Veranda, and the water beyond.
