Loblolly House, one of the earliest and most successful examples of property designed using Autodesk’s Revit software was designed by Kieran Timberlake Architects Using partner Stephen Kieran’s summer house as a laboratory, the design studio utilised Revit to envision a home consisting of 70% prefabricated components that would see the concept come to life in only six weeks. It was imperative that the completed structure remain at one with its densely wooded setting, therefore an irregular pattern of vertical board rain screens was proposed for the east wall, with some elements overlaying a solid wall and others lapping over the glazing to replicate the fluctuating densities registered when one views the forest wall.

In direct contrast, the property’s west wall comprises an adjustable, double-layer system with folding glass doors which provide protection from the harsh sun and occasional storms yet can be thrown open to establish a closer relationship between inside and outside space.
