Both the Ice House and Simpson House were generated from the same concept- simple forms adorned with custom fiberglass panels that create texture, depth and an ever changing play of light on the facades.

The Ice House is only a little more than four hundred square feet, and the definition of snug. The challenge was to build a box and not have it feel like a box. The white, versatile fabricated tiles give the impression of waves breaking up an otherwise monotonous boxy shape. The design team worked with Windsor Fiberglass out of North Carolina to design the sleek modern white tiles, which can be installed in various orientations to create different patterns.

The Simpson House took the panels to a new dimension and expanded the size and use of the panels. The panels not only added interest to a loft like box but also acts as an insulative layer on the house.
