Curved House is a Modern Residence with Distinctive Sustainable Strategies in Missouri

Although quite rectilinear from a distance, this private residence is named after a distinguishing curved motif that reappears throughout. Located in Springfield, Missouri, <a href="http://hufft.com/residential/curved-house/" target="_blank">Curved House</a> by <a href="http://hufft.com/" target="_blank">Hufft Projects</a> is a modern project with distinctive lines. Arranged in a U-shape around a pool and outdoor patio, the home features a vibrant palette of materials and a wide array of sustainable strategies.

Located in Springfield, MO, Curved House is a private residence surrounded by a signature masonry wall.

Formed in a U-shape around a private and protected courtyard, the exterior features two gentle curves.

One signifying the primary entrance; and another that reappears to form the west wall of the pool cabana.

These curves also reappear in the fire pit and pool, giving the home a right to its name.

The 7,800 sq ft home is built with an eclectic mix of brick, ipe, cedar, and Spanish tile.

The client's interest in sustainability is matched with <a href="http://hufft.com/" target="_blank">Hufft Projects</a> experience, and energy efficient and eco-friendly strategies are used throughout.

First a solar photovoltaic array is mounted on top of the cabana roof.

Second a geothermal system provides energy-efficient heating and cooling that is coupled with a radiant floor heating system.

Low-e glass is used throughout and works in conjunction with the firm's design for natural daylighting and views from every room.

This project was completed in 2009.

Hufft Projects and its sister company, Edwin Blue, also designed furniture for the home.

Modern design and finishes pervade the entire home.

Landscape design was completed by 40North.
