The sculptural cedar porch of the Erosion House creates a sheltered entry where layered wood slats filter light, frame views, and define the transition into the home.

EROSION HOUSE 01

Horizontal cedar slats form a backdrop for a porch shaped by forces of erosion, bringing new life to a once unremarkable house.

The renovation transforms a plain suburban home into an architectural landscape shaped by process and time. A continuous cedar screen wraps the facade in horizontal layers, creating a unified field that gives the house rhythm and order. From this layered surface, a sculptural porch pushes outward, as if carved by the slow forces of erosion, revealing depth, shadow, and movement. The new form grounds the house to its site, its materials weathering naturally, allowing the architecture to speak through light, texture, and the quiet traces of transformation.
