The Fall Creek Residence is located on a 5 acre wooded lot in rural Pendleton, Indiana. The diverse topography presented a wealth of opportunity, while also creating various design restrictions. While the owners have an appreciation for modern design, they also wanted their home to fit in contextually with the surrounding houses. Because of this, modern elements show through in the exterior details, rather than in the massing. Simple, clean roof lines step down at the garage and master bedroom with the topography to mimic and emphasize the natural landscape.

The house looks rather traditional from a distance and as visitors get closer, they will notice modern detailing, with Ipe wood accents, aluminum clad floor to ceiling windows with minimal site lines, boxed eaves with slotted roof vents and a cascading sidewalk with slabs of concrete that change from chaotic and irregular near the start and more rigid and regular as it approaches the house.
