Built To Expand | The One-Third House

We have seen stunning modern architecture of all sorts. Today we take a look at an interesting contemporary structure dubbed the One-Third House. This interesting design was created to expand. The main living space is a traditional two-story cabin with a footprint that measures just over 500 square feet. This modest dwelling offers cozy accommodations, though the couple wanted room to grow. The One-Third House features an open-air veranda.

The space is double the size of the main house, offering an uninsulated area that extends from the home. The structure shares the same roof as the home, while titled glulam columns give the space supports. It also lends itself to a modern, almost industrial aesthetic, which also frames in the unrivaled views of the natural surroundings. The space currently functions as anything from a storage room and garage to a workshop and banquet hall. However, it can easily be transformed into additional living space in the future.

Take a closer look at this beautiful dwelling in the images below and learn more about the design from Rever & Drage Architects. In the meantime, keep it locked with The Culture Curators for more modern architecture coming soon.
