The 1000 Year House

Hope for Architecture:

This is the Adams House. Rising on a 40 acre plot outside Columbus, Georgia, this 3,000 square foot, original design is our first step towards answering a critical question: Can modern builders achieve affordable permanence through the practical application of structural masonry and timber frame construction?

So begins the story of a house out to prove that it’s possible “to build a timeless, durable, multi-century home at a price that everyday Americans can afford.” The mission is intriguing. The design is elegant in its simplicity. The process is well documented. It’s a truly amazing project.
