Sulphur City Stables
Maurice Jennings + David McKee Architects
Northwest Arkansas
The stables sit atop
a windswept hill with a long vista over Northwest Arkansas. The ground
floor contains six horse stalls, tack room, feed room, and wash stall, all
of which flank a sixteen-foot wide central aisle. A spiral stair in
the silo leads to the upper level office and apartment and then continues
to an observatory at the top. The barn is clad with cedar siding and
its seven glue-laminated arches are connected with custom metal brackets.
The sliding aisle doors repeat the pattern established in the end-wall glass
subdivision.
