Walker Residence
Lexington, Kentucky

This residence was conceived as a built poem. The intent was to construct a house that was a builder’s house and a work of architecture imultaneously. The structure represents singular values and transcends the habitual opposition between the noetic and the poetic. As the design evolved, the builder was given a voice in all aspects of the project. The result expresses a marriage between the mechanical and the dramatic, the temporal and the eternal.
