The work of Wendell Burnette Architects has been presented in more than 100 publications worldwide, including The Burnette Studio/Residence, a single building monograph published by Rockport Press and each Phaidon Atlas of World Architecture in 2004 and 2008. Wendell Burnette will give three lectures in Alaska on January 16-18.
An article on design-milk.com describes The Burnette Studio/Residence:
The house is an extension of the desert garden conceived as an architecture that is in and of the greater landscape. Its rooms edit the surrounding context in such a way that connections are explicitly made to the sensory experiences of our natural world. An unapologetic from extends an existing ubiquitous road scar as a man-made canyon, touching only the site that was previously disturbed. The entry space extends beyond the visual, it is a series of moments and experiences that slow down time.
