SHIELD HOUSE

Constructed using the timbers from a 1790's barn, the Shield House is a reincarnation of ancient wood. Blending steel, glass, stone and timbers, this residence designed and built by rc3 employs several green construction methods, including geothermal, passive solar orientation, spring- fed water supply and low V.O.C. finishes.
