Architectural Photographer | Architectural Photography: Wil Armster's "Bridge House"

Wil Armster's "Bridge House"

One of the great benefits of being an architectural photographer is the opportunity to work with some very talented people.

Connecticut based architect Wil Armster combines his deep passion for architecture with a truly unique vision.

He designed the 240 ft. long “Bridge House” to sit on the property without disrupting the natural flow of the land. Viewed from the road in mid summer, the house seems to float atop the tall grasses. Since the natural drainage of the land has not been altered, spring thaw transforms the surrounding snows into a river three feet deep flowing beneath the house.

In presenting Mr. Armster with a merit award for his “Bridge House”, the Connecticut chapter of the AIA (American Institute of Architects) had this to say, “ The building is all about careful, artful siting. It has a taut simplicity. The way it sits in the landscape and the landscape itself are perfect. It is all about place. It looks like a big slab of granite, but one that is not hitting the ground. The building illustrates the fact that you do not have to spend a lot of dollars for an excellent project”.

Very well deserved Mr. Armster, congratulations! Visit Wil's website: http://www.armster.com
