Koenig House Interiors by Mark Haddawy
Kategori: MCM Architecture
Date of design: 1957
Date of completion: 1958
Square footage: 1,320
Space – One story, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, living room, entry, entry courtyard and attached two-space carport.
In a nutshell, a wishlist.
'The house, surrounded completely by pools, introduced a new concept in making water an integral structure and landscape element. Brick terraces, spanning the pools, lead to the living areas, and the terraces add another plane and texture to the interplay between water and structure. During the hot months the water is pumped hydraulically from the pool to the roof gutter to fall through the scuppers and circulate and aerate the pool.
The house is a series of 10- by 22-foot bays 9 feet high, each frame is composed of an 8-inch I-beam, floor channel and three 4-inch wide flange columns. The frames were shop-fabricated and delivered to the site in one piece. The two exterior bays came shop-equipped with a 4-inch channel which tied into the columns at sill height.' - Esther McCoy
