Swamp Thing · Harris Neck, GA Residence
FROM THE ARCHITECT BARNES COY
❝ The house appears to grow right out of the tidal wilderness of Georgia marshland. The walls are canted outwards to create the effect of a glass-bottomed boat and flood interior spaces with water-reflected light, while drawing the eye out to views of Harris Neck River and the sprawling wetlands of a national wildlife refuge.
In plan, the house bends to the north, like a swamp creature, hovering high on its thirteen legs. Inside, the minimal lines of a modernist pavilion are combined with the Zen simplicity of a Japanese tea house. ❞
