This project is one of Rufus Nims' many experiments in constructing houses by spraying concrete onto wire mesh. The project also offers a solution to the problems of privacy and noise created by houses with open-air designs. Here Nims breaks the house into multiple pavilions and arrays them around a central screened atrium.
