Wausau Homestead, USA
This new project from PKA Architecture, the Wausau Homestead, is a 4-bedroom, 3 full-bathroom, 3,600-square-foot home located in Wausau, WI.
Tammy Angaran:
“The clients came to us looking to create a modern, affordable multigenerational home that was both low maintenance and energy efficient. They were looking for someone to help them create a design for a “Modern Homestead” as they called it, with the intention of raising their 3 young children while living in close proximity to the wife’s parents. Our objective was to meet the client’s goals and create a modern home that blended into the wooded landscape, while using humble and sustainable materials.”
Tammy Angaran:
“We love the steep-pitched black gable forms that recede into the woods.”
The clients came to PKA looking to create a modern, affordable multigenerational home. They wanted something low maintenance and energy efficient.
Additionally, they were looking for both communal space, as well as separate retreat space for their young family with three children, and the wife’s parents.
Tammy Angaran:
“The inspiration for this project was the “Scandinavian Longhouse” for its precedent of a long, proportionately narrow, single-room building for communal dwelling.”
The inspiration between the architecture and interiors was the “Scandinavian Longhouse” for its precedent of a long, proportionately narrow, single-room building for communal dwelling.
The team’s favorite part is the steep-pitched black gable forms that recede into the woods. The two gables along with the detached garage are situated to create the entry court, and there is a “main house,” which is the largest gable form, and a smaller form that contains the parent’s suite.
These two elements are linked together with a flat roofed element containing the entry, mudroom, and mechanical space. The family room is a really great communal space for them all to gather together as well as the main kitchen.
