Tower House Project

Peter Gluck received his bachelor of arts in 1962 from Yale University. He also has a master in Archi-tecture from The Yale School of Architecture. Peter was influenced by Louis Khan who was an iconic architect,design critic and architecture professor. Gluck was one of the memebers who started “the design build culture”;a method to deliver a project in which the design and construction services are contracted by the design builder.

This house was designed as a stair-way to the top of the trees. The Glass-enclosed stairs, highlights the transition from the ground to the treetop. The footprint was kept to the minimun space possible in order to not disturb the woodensite. This was inorder to make an engagement from the tower house and the surroundings. The dark-green back painted glass from the house amouflages the house and reflects the woods.
