Overlooking the Berkshire Hills and the beautiful lake located nearby, Berkshire Pond Residence is a fantastic weekend family members home completed by architect David Jay Weiner in Becket, Massachusetts. The dwelling “was conceived as a folded volumetric sheet enclosure that wraps and folds into itself to kind and define the significant interior spaces, and tie the property with the landscape.” Built strategically on a densely wooded sloping web site, the property, a neat cantilevered residence, challenges the inhabitants to discover visually the surroundings and spend peacefully their leisure time. The home’s style is both, sustainable and economical (in construction and maintenance).
The use of recyclable materials was a priority when creating the residence. Green attributes aside from the materials, consist of also a cooling technique, solar collectors to supplement the grid technique and a closed loop geothermal heating technique. The weekend retreat spreads more than 3 levels, delivering outstanding separation of the space. The ground floor is mainly used for entertainment purposes. An adjacent terrace acts as an outside space for youngsters. The initial floor comprises the social rooms, including a kitchen, a dining/ living room. Top floor accommodates the master bedroom, youngsters’s bedrooms and bathrooms.

Penta creates a visual of fluid formations inside its mixture of clear and strong supplies that virtually lead to you to hesitate just before turning the faucet on. The clear sections are developed with Chroma and the strong formation is made with Dupont Corian. The nature inspired shape suggests that water has eroded holes through the vessel sink and that suggestion presents a geological story of history and perseverance – and of course pure whimsy.
The graceful silhouette to Penta has a sense of lightness that is enhanced by the contrast in the two thermoformed solid surface supplies. Even the drain adds to the ethereal feeling of the vessel, as it appears to hold the sink down, stopping it from floating away.
The contrast between the Dupont Corian and Chroma in Penta is enhanced as light passes via it permitting for the creative use of directional lighting to develop plays on shadow and reflection for a 3 dimensional storyline to the sink and its surrounding atmosphere. No wonder it won the Interior Design very best of the year honoree award in 2013. Penta by Mac Stopa
