HILLSBOROUGH HOUSE 2

Hillsborough, California

2004

Wrapping a central courtyard, the mass of this 6,000-square-foot residence combines textured cement plaster, mahogany siding, large areas of glass and Texas fossil stone.  An aluminum fascia defines the roofline.  A steel bridge connecting two bedroom wings traverses the edge of dramatic double-height volumes in the living areas. Cherry wood and limestone floors, white walls and freestanding elements of fossil stone complete the materials palette.

Jim Jennings is a master at intricate compositions.

While the young avant-garde indulge themselves in ever more fantastic layering, folds and overlapping, Jennings works in the opposite direction.  Applying clarity and structural logic, he masters the relationship of space and hollow space.
