"That project really explores the ability to weave space together within the site itself and the house," says architect David Jameson. The appropriately titled Oscillating House employs radiant heating and cooling using a technique Jameson saw used in Austria and Germany.

Jameson is also designing systems to measure the amount of water being retained by the green roofs or being diverted into the water recycling tanks. He hopes to track the amount of water and energy the house conserves over time.

Jameson describes the Wildcat Mountain Residence as a "modernist agrarian compound." He adds that the design is about the interstitial spaces within the buildings themselves as well as throughout the larger site.

The house is designed around an existing live oak on the site. The organic quality of the tree creates nice tension with the static house,” Jameson says.

“Redwood portals slide between concrete frames and it’s all stitched together with glazing,” says Jameson, “so you can read the tectonics of both kinds of building systems.”
