The NaCl House designed by architecture firm David Jameson Architect, Inc. is located in Bethesda, Maryland. Designed like a jigsaw puzzle with mulitple volumes rising and falling within its single form. Dubbed the NaCl House (NaCl, the scientific term for “table salt”).
Straying from convention, this home opts for a staggered floor plan as opposed to traditional, horizontally layered layouts. The exterior is an artful combination of solid facades and glass, offering peeks at life inside this modernist structure. According to the architect, “The resultant massing reveals an imperfect, rough-hewn form recalling the natural isometric formation of mineral rock salt.”
The open concept space lets one “room” (like the living room, dining area and home office, flow seamlessly into the others. Every area of the home is naturally lit through the abundant windows staggered on every wall, and the white backdrop bounces light around the space, further enhancing the sense of openness and brightness inside.
