Built in 2013, Pierson's Way exemplifies the firm's clever use of materials and form. Referencing the vernacular architecture of the potato barns found around this private oceanside community,  the architects reimagined the classic gabled house. Instead of using typical wood frame construction, the house uses a steel frame covered in glue-laminated wood panels.
