The unique and quirky vision embodied in the architecture of Terry Brown has inspired a generation of students, courageous clients and teams of craftsmen who helped him create it, working with him side by side. At a time when many architects build halfway across the world, rarely even seeing the results of their efforts, this earthy personal work provides a diametrically opposed alternative. Yet it is the product not only of his rural upbringing, but also of his Eastern establishment work experience in the heyday of postmodernism, and of an unusual, self-directed international education.
Terry Brown's former studio occupies a series of rounded and angular spaces grafted on a modest house in Cincinnati that is sheathed in weathered cedar shakes and multi-colored glass. All Photos copyright Hisey-Mitchell Photography.
A wall covered in cedar shakes is opened by a circular window made from various colors and textures of stained glass and framed with sheets of copper
Undulating handcrafted shelves follow the natural flow from one room to the next, separating the spaces while providing kitchen storage and, in the sitting area, bookshelves.
