Compass House by superkül Named Architizer A+ Awards Jury Winner
superkül
This is a project that is built to improve with age. The exterior displays the firm’s commitment to an architecture that endures, manifest in the use of low-maintenance construction materials such as cement-board siding, aluminum windows and a steel roof. Such efforts have resulted in Compass House receiving LEED Gold certification.

Set back into the 200-acre property and away from the road, the house is nestled into the land and against a line of trees that act as a windbreak and provide a sense of enclosure. The house virtually disappears into the snowy whiteness of the winter landscape.

The house sits at the nexus of the land’s constituent characteristics: forests to the west, a hill to the south, and 100 acres of fields to the north and east.
