Original content bercy chen studio: red bluff residence
red bluff residence by bercy chen design studio is a 1400 square located in austin, texas.
the red bluff site has been transformed from a brown field zone housing industrial waste
leftover from its days as an oil and gas property to a place of seasonally responsive beauty.
the residence heals the neglected land by the subtle integration of green features. these include
hydroponic heating and cooling and a green roof with water collection capabilities.
the house's relationship to the landscape both in terms of approach as well as building
performance references the oldest housing typology in north america; the pit house.
the house will undergo a 7-foot excavation (like pit houses) gaining benefits from
the earth's mass to maintain thermal comfort throughout the year.
