This residence, located in Decatur, Illinois, sits on a rolling rural site, surrounded by a few sparsely situated houses, farmland, and open fields. The house is constructed with a concrete foundation system, wood framing for the private and bedroom wings, and a steel and wood framed public/family space. The sloped pipe columns provide both gravity support and lateral wind resistance.
