Turbulence House

Designed by Steven Holl Architects and manufactured using Zahner form-building technologies, Turbulence House functions as a guest home for artists Richard Tuttle and Mei-Mei Berssenbrugge. Steven Holl likens the design to “the tip of an iceberg indicating a much larger mass below. The form allows turbulent wind to blow through its center." The stressed skin and aluminum rib construction was digitally prefabricated in Kansas City and assembled on site in Abiquiu, New Mexico.
