From the\u00a0Architect:\u00a0“Riverhouse balances ecological intelligence, cultural resonance, and spatial invention. The house replaces a weathered retreat with a compact yet ambitious structure that responds to its rural Rhode Island setting.<\/p>\n

“Elevated to meet floodplain regulations, the design meets Passive House energy standards while embracing bold form, rich materiality, and vibrant accents drawn from the surrounding landscape.<\/p>\n

“Triple-glazed windows, photovoltaic panels with battery storage, and 14-inch insulated walls enable year-round, all-electric performance\u2014but the house\u2019s character is shaped just as much by its tactile warmth, layered spaces, and immersive connection to place.<\/p>\n

“The project also serves as a platform for collaboration\u2014each contribution enriching the house\u2019s spatial, material, and conceptual fabric. A custom dining table by MOS Architects<\/a> animates the central gathering space, blurring the line between furniture and architecture with characteristic precision.<\/p>\n

“Petra Blaisse designed a large, dramatic curtain spanning the entire living room, exploring the dynamic interplay of light, privacy, and seasonal change. Artist Aust\u0117ja Walter designed the linen curtains in the bedrooms. Collaborating with Amale\u2019s friend Karim Chaya in their native Lebanon, they incorporated tiles featuring traditional Lebanese patterns for pops of color. In the same collaborative spirit, many of the fixtures\u2014sourced from Duravit, FSB Hardware, Lutron, and Fen\u00eatres MQ\u2014were carefully curated for the house.”<\/p>\n
