Ferrous House, by Johnsen Schmaling Architects is on the edge of a wooded nature preserve in Spring Prairie, Wisconsin. The main rectangular volume of the house has a tilted roof plane supported by a filigree of exposed metal and wood trusses, adding height to the living space and allowing northern light to wash the inside of the house through a translucent glass band.
