SUSPENSION HOUSE
Suspension House is a remodel by Fougeron Architecture, situated between two wooded California hills where it spans a creek with a waterfall at the rear. The project responds to the site's protected status and the surrounding landscape, aiming to reinforce the home's engagement with its natural setting while restoring and preserving the terrain. The design involved adapting an existing structure under regulations that prohibit new construction in this location. A new steel structural frame was installed beneath the original floors to secure the house to the hillsides. This intervention enabled the removal of support columns from the creek bed, minimizing the building's impact on the waterway below and enhancing the visual and spatial flow between the home, the cascading water, and the wooded slopes.
